Our local neighborhood gets together at 10am on the 4th of July for a neighborhood parade. There are far more people in the parade than watching it, so it’s more like a gathering at the top of the street in preparation followed by a procession to the bottom of the street where there’s another gathering with snacks and drinks. Those who are along the parade route seem to eventually join the parade and walk to the end for the party.
There were some truly creative little costumes and decorations, but I think my favorite part of the parade today was a bewildered coyote that was coming up the street in the opposite direction of the parade who was shocked to see a mob of people with horses and a firetruck coming down the street. He managed to run off down a side street and escape.

I didn’t get a photo of the coyote, but he went that way!

Didn’t get to ride on the firetruck? Come check it out after-the-fact.
Now’s all that’s left is the clean up. The End.

Looks like a fun parade, but boy was the ending a shocker! 🤢
Your WordPress needs updating, it stripped out my wonderful poop emoji 🙁
@EddieHinkle A parade isn’t a parade without it…
Maybe a WordPress isn’t either?
