A Parade

Once again we set out early to stake out a perfect spot to watch the parade. And then wandered off to have breakfast.
The Minions are here!
And this guy...saddling up a cow and walking along.
Some kids near us had 4th of July mylar ballons. Sadly one of the balloons escaped and floated across the street only to get tangled up in the wires. It waved around up there for quite a while. And then, just before the start of the parade, the wind grabbed it just right and the balloon touched two wires. There was a big green flash of light and a really big boom! It definitely startled all of us!

A very exciting start to the parade and festivities. We found out later that the balloon even took out power for the homes on that side of the street!

**Whenever we drive past this spot (which is often) Mady talks about the poor balloon that was really loud and scared her.
