August 3rd

Before leaving for the parade this morning, Dad and I went on a walk with Samantha, Drew, and Jayden. Along the way we spotted this monarch butterfly, which Sam managed to pick up and carry back to the campsite.

Before the parade started we spotted a brand new 2014 Corvette Stingray in the parking lot of the grocery store. I handed Drew my camera so that he could go take a few photos. Here are the results...

	As usual, the veterans marched to a standing ovation to begin the parade.

	The girls were fond of the brown and white horse used by the county sheriff's.
	A cool tracked-vehicle used by the fire department.
	A large Case tractor making it's way down the street.
	A new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup with a pageant winner in the back.
	Aunt Karen throwing out candy from the back of a pickup.
	A tracked tractor. Say that 10 times fast!

	An old pickup in the parade.
	A large John Deere tractor.
	This nifty two-wheeled contraption used to be an old Oliver Superior Grain Drill. Obviously it has had some work done to it...
