Emma's Parade
I call it Emma's parade because you couldn't have designed a parade more suited to my daughter's interests (and vocabulary!) The only thing that could have made it more perfect is if Elmo had been riding a tractor.

It's a fireman's parade so it was mostly firetrucks. There were also trucks from businesses, like delivery trucks and tractor trailers. There were golf carts and bicycles and motorcycles. There were a few twirlers and a band or two. There were maybe three decorated floats in the whole parade. But honestly, this is exactly the parade Emma would love. Remember, she'll sit on the front porch of the store just to watch traffic go by. She was completely entranced by all the trucks. And she'd call them out when they came by, and wave and smile. She had a blast! Especially when they'd blow their horn or run the siren. It was lots of fun, only because we were there with her. You know...everything old is new again.
