The Fireman's Parade

My parents live near this little town Colonial Beach. It is right on the Potomac River. The town is on the small side, and it is very pretty in some parts. They even let golf carts drive on the streets in most of the town. It's a very amusing thing. They also don't have to have car seats on the golf carts, so it's very nerve racking for me to watch. They have a place called the River Boat. It sits in the water just over the high tide mark so it is officially in Maryland. They do off track betting and stuff there. The population of this town is just ripe for people watching. We certainly add to the entertainment when we show up!

Every year there is a parade there where firetrucks and rescue vehicles from about 100 miles come and drive down the main drag. It is really so much fun for the kids. It is also really LOUD!

The trucks all drive by with their sirens wailing. The anticipation of the first truck was just killing the kids! They also were excited to see if there was going to be any candy. Nothing is as much fun without candy!

I still check in on your blog now and then, Erin. How are the kiddos doing? Time for an update, I think! Hugs, Petrie
