Smalltown had its parade today. Both Ben and Will rode on floats for the Scouts and had a great time.

The Boys Scouts spent a few evenings putting their float together, creating an olde-fashioned campsite commemorating 100 years of scouting. They were quite excited to be handed such tools as a draw knife, axes and other sharp implements to make the scene come together. Boys just love makin' stuff outta trees.

I myself do not understand the appeal of parades, but I guess it is fun when you get to ride on a slow-moving vehicle standing up pelting the crowd with candy, eating a great load of it yourself.

Charlie, Steve and I had a spot along the route where there were very few little kids to compete for said candy, so Charlie should be set with sugary crap until Halloween.

Clown population at the parade was ZERO, and nary an Uncle Sam on Stilts was to be found. I'm OK with any parade that can boast that!
