4th of July Parade

Posted on Jul 4th, 2008 by Beagle : Questionizer Beagle
Some photos below of the parade here in Hinesburg today.  We had the usual:  fire trucks, Cub Scouts, bagpipers, horses.  It was a great community event.  Afterwards there was a big old kid fest at the school.  Once we played games and found friends and checked out the stream, we walked across the road for a creemee. 

The children are staying up late to watch the fireworks.  They may or may not make it, but why not give it a shot?  If they do stay up, I am hoping they crash quickly.  I could use some early to bed myself.

Veterans for Peace Got the Biggest Applause

Thoughtful Parade Watcher


OK this last one isn't a great photo, and it didn't really capture what I wanted, but this woman was handing candy (passed out by several people with the floats) to all of the fire truck drivers.  It was a thoughtful thing to do.  I was moved by this small act of kindness. 

Happy Independence Day.
