4th of July

So yesterday was the 4th of July and the 4th in these parts mean the most amazing parade in the entire galaxy - Sedro-Woolley Loggerodeo Parade. The Rose Parade and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade have nothing on Woolley! Here are the highlights of this absolutely fabulous event:

My dad, the mayor. He rode with the Police Chief because he was afraid he would be booed and/or food would be thrown at him because of the whole recycling/trash project situation.

The parade was mostly composed of logging trucks, tow trucks, and other varieties of trucks.

And horses. Lots of horses.

And near us sat this little girl who would growl at and push other children when candy was thrown our direction. She reminded me of this kid.

And I leave tomorrow. TOMORROW!
