This is one of the many new things Roxi learned today when she attended her first parade. It's homecoming weekend here (at Colorado State University), and the parade those wacky CSU Rams put on is pretty impressive.
Roxi and I strolled the few blocks to the beginning of the parade route this morning and got a primo spot. I think Roxi was most fascinated by the bright yellow CAUTION tape separating the crowd from the participants, but she definitely looked up whenever something booming came by. There were several marching bands (one that included bagpipes), fire trucks, amplified singing groups and Shriner cars - all of which caught her attention. We watched for almost an hour before heading home again. I think there was at least another hour's worth to see, but a girl needs her beauty sleep ... and her bottle.
