Summer and it's time for parades! You can appreciate a parade through the fresh eyes of a child. The clapping and excited tapping of her dancing happy feet when the color guard passes. She steps in cadence as the Virginia band snappily marches by. The questioning look upon her face as tootsie rolls candies rain down and land close to her feet. The lifted eyebrow seeking permission before she claims them and gleefully dumps them in her sand bucket. She cheerfully shares her bootie with fellow parade goers including the Animal Canine Shelter unit and gets a sloppy lick for her generosity. Mo-moes (Shriner's Motorcycles) roll by in formation. Balloons escape and float high in the sky where helicopters are providing aerial tours. The Clown Band prompts chaos behind the motorized porti toilet spewing tissue as it drunkenly spins and moves along the route. Fire engines, royalty from local cities, car clubs, and floats make a parade day a beautiful thing--along with 10 pounds of candy!Contributed by Ann
