Fourth of July Parade





It looks like I uploaded the photos in the wrong order...AGAIN!
Since Amy McCusker-Dombeck was due with Abbey (her golden bday is July 8th) we have been watching the Fourth of July parade in Cannon Falls with the Dombeck family. This year Chuck was setting up the chairs and awning with Doug at 7 am - and they weren't the first ones out there! Apparently some people set up the night before to reserve their spots - we are a trusting folk in CF. The parade starts at 11:30 and we saw the last float/tractor go by about 1 pm. It's a big "To-Do" in Cannon. We saw several squirt guns and hoses and water balloons. We were doused by the fire department (Jeff, Amy's brother volunteers with the CFFD) and then the CF pool crew who know Mitchell and Maria from swim lessons and they know me from school...Grandma always has a special bag of candy for the Hoffmans and Dombecks - she jumps out of the '55 Chevy which is in the parade representing the Cannon Cruisers, she hands the kids their special treats, and then she boogies to catch up with Grandpa. Uncle Brent was driving the '67 Buick with Wendy as co pilot and photographer.
