This last weekend, Vernal and I and the boys went over to Northtown for the annual Snake Saturday Parade. She used to go to this parade when she was a kid with her family. The location is just north of down town (see picture above) across the river in a comunity that is one part Main Street USA, one part industrial, and one part residential. The path of the parade covers quite a few scenes, from families who get their early and tailgate to the college students and 20-somethings waiting to get in line at the bars that are open mid Saturday morning to the carnival with rides and petting zoo's aligned by amauter race cars. Parades are the perfect slice of Americana.
This is my Turkey who just chilled out the whole time in his stroller until we got him out to feed the goats.
This is my Goose who totally understands the festive meaning of an Irish Parade and the concept of Carnival, there by sporting his Brazillian jersey.
What is a parade without one of many high school bands marching in awkward costumes and funny hats.
Here is a picture of Goose getting a girls telephone number. Nah, he scored quite a collection of candy. Next year we need to bring a bag.
Here is a picture of Eric Looney's long lost-seperated at birth-twin brother. It is amazing how people can take different paths in life.

Goose's cast matches his shirt. Your boys are styling. Looks like a fun parade.
a spitt'n image of my days back east. how do you know it wasn't me?
I knew it wasn't you, because you usually like to paint your body green for St. Patty's day.
That does look like EL. I used to cover the Snake Saturday parade for the newspaper - technically it's in North KC not to be confused with KC North.
It looks like you guys had fun. I want to go next year!
