NoDak and Back 2011: Parade!

A long standing tradition in our family, the Old Timer's Festival Parade was on Saturday. First, we went in to watch the Kiddie Parade. Jake is giving the donkeys a little pre-parade pep talk and graham cracker snack.

Brock leads them down the parade route.

Uncle John loves a good kiddie parade!

We come back home to get the horses ready. I love Bud's horse nose.

horse hug.

Steph and Cisco are ready!

Bud with his bedazzled mane. He had some red glitter paint on his hooves as well.  Fancy!

I love this shot of Steph and Cisco posing for the picture and Molly posing for yoga. Go downward dog!

Yes Bud, you can have a kiss.

Riding to town.

My view of the road and my three-eared horse.

Almost time, Bud is ready!

We're off!

There we are!

John checks on us after the parade before start our ride back home.

we made it. It's about 5 miles round trip, plus probably a mile long parade route, which we travel twice. not too shabby for a hot day.

Time for a beer!
