And the parade marches on...

The Coast Guard Festival Parade is still a big draw. Not quite as exciting as I remembered from the past. All the family met at a spot along the route to enjoy the spectacle. Here are Eleanor and Gemma with my cousin Ed's two little ones, Van and Cade.Gemma saw much of the parade while on the lap of her aunts and uncles, particularly Auntie Ray and Uncle Joel.
Eleanor stayed on her feet, waiting for the next candy gathering opportunity with candy expert, Van. Notice the full mouths of candy...

One float tossed out squirt guns. It was a hot day, and Gemma spent the next couple of minutes cooling herself down.
