I LOVE A PARADE!!!







Stephen and I took our annual trip to the largest 4th of July Parade west of the Mississippi River...oh yeah it just happens to be in our town, SURF CITY...aka Huntington Beach.

Every year about 200-300 thousand people show up to watch the parade. This year we had PERFECT weather, about 73 degrees with a soft ocean breeze. The parade is right down Main Street with the pier in the background. We ride our bikes up from our house, with hundreds of others...it is great to see everyone dressed up and with their bikes decorated.

The parade is really fun and full of energy with beautiful moments of patriotism...for example everyone stands and applauds/salutes the "Pearl Harbor Suvivors" as well as the all the other military involved. People dance and sing along the many marching bands...and how about those crazy "Shriner's" with their little cars, I wish I could post all of the pictures we took!
