the Scottville Clown Band

the last act in the parade is always the Scottville Clown Band... they have lots of fun!

parade highlights

can you see what's written on the horse's behind?

my favorite marching band, from Muskegon... they are always fantastic!
the Coast Guard helicopter did several fly-bys on the parade route... can you see the guy waving?


Micah was helping the musicians cool down with his squirt gun
one of the "Clowns"... gave me a smile as he headed to the back of the parade

people at the parade

Jacob and Micah are experienced parade-goers... and it was a good one this year!

the boys had a perfect spot on the curb (thanks Michelle and James!) they raked in the goodies... along with squirt guns, water bottles, popsicles, frisbees and various other fun
things

Alyssa says, "Did anyone else see that princess???"


Alonna & Nolan... Alonna was gettin' down to the marching band! :)
Sam was in constant motion!
