Today in Palmer ...

Tia and I went to enjoy the Palmer Alaska State Fair Parade today. We had a ball! We saw the ...
Cabbage Fairies ... never knew they existed. (wonder if there are tomato fairies as well?!)

Always a few fire trucks ...

...antique vehicles ...


...someone sporting Colony Knights colors in their leggings ...

aaahhh ... small town flavor.

Hats waiting to be filled with candy treats.

The cutest short vehicle EVER! I want one of these!


Brock helped carry the United Way banner.

A long line of Corvettes ... have to drive them before the snow flies!

... the glorious Red, White & Blue ...

... and in farming country ... there are tractors ....
and the cutest ever farmers who drive them!

We had some coffees that were yummy. Did some grocery shopping and then stopped at a few of these ....

We found a new set of wheels for Tia for $5 ...

and a brand new sewing machine in the box for $20! Can't wait to haul it out in the next few weeks and see what it can do!

As long as we were on a roll with the camera ... and the day was beyond beautiful ... we shot a few fun ones in the yard.

We had a fun day!
I know I don't post on here nearly enough. Life has been a bit busy lately ... seems more than usual. Today was a treat. :)

I like the pictures! Seeing the tractors in the parade, couldn't help but remember the parade in Wanamingo. I was telling Heather that that was the first parade I saw that had all types of farming equipment, whether it was a baler, rake, combine or what not it was there!

Reminds me of the Eveleth parades...Looks like fun. Impressive to see Brock carrying the United Way flag :).
