Candy Throwing!

Actually, it's our local parade!

I hear this parade is the second biggest in Oregon... even ahead of the Grand Floral Parade in the number of entries. But what I don't get is that we don't have one single Marching Band... I'm not complaining per say, I just think it's interesting... But what we do have is candy... lots and lots of candy... I seriously think that 99% of the entrants throw candy at the kids (some harder than others)! The kids of course absolutely love this! Oh... but I must mention that the local dentist threw toothpaste!  The fun part of living in a small town is you actual know several of the entrants in the parade... so I also have photos of some of our friends walking in the heat... boy was it hot that morning!

Here are some photos of us enjoying the parade with some of our dear friends.  Simply click on them if you'd like to see them larger!
