Lee told me it was the Fourth of July. Why I knew that because my birthday was yesterday. Yep you heard that right. I was her fire cracker dud, I popped on the third of July.
Lee said there was a parade happening and did I want to go?
Well look, to start the parade they had a Bagpiper Group. Yep they played my theme song.
They yelled I needed my Kilt on!!
Why look how tall my Uncle Sam is! Uncle Sam brought Miss Liberty with him.
We have the VFW Group here.
Yep here is the Anderson Township fire department and they are blasting their sirens.
Another Bagpipe, Drum & Fife Group.
Floats and different groups throw candy to parade watchers. I heard the children yelling candy.
Well I think I'm a child, so when the children ran to get things I ran with them! I got one piece of candy wrapper and all. I tried so hard when they tossed small Frisbees and balls and I thought I had one Frisbee it was coming right at me but a little boy grabbed the Frisbee. My mouth was open and ready to catch but the boy jumped in front - NOT FAIR!
A float with a Gold Eagle.
Coming up next are Cincinnati's
favorite characters.
Let me introduce Mr. Cincinnati Redlegs and Rosie.
They are our home team, The Big Red Machine, The Cincinnati Reds mascots.
Pirate Ship the Scallywag.
Bahahaaaaaa look the woman has a leash on the van. That van and Smart car are impersonating dogs. That is the Clermont County Humane Society.
Look another Scottish Group swaying their kilts.
All decorated for the fourth.
Oh little Red Convertibles is Jazzi coming down the road.
No not Jazzi but the Shriners in their little Corvettes.
And we have the Anderson Park Board Represented.
Well that is just some of my July 4th Parade.
Come back next week because I have more of my Nati City to show you.
Thanks for being a friend
Traveling down the road and back again
Your heart is true and your a friend of mine

Rumor has it that Miss Liberty and Uncle Sam are now divorced!
ReplyDeleteOh No ~ she probably left Uncle Sam because he wasn't giving her any interest on her money.
DeleteSWTS
Or any interest of any kind!
DeleteHappy Late Birthday Sweet William, wesa been offline for a few days now, we also were supposed to have a parade on Saturday but it got rained out.

Great parade. Bailey used to love parades, but then the noise of the fire engines and the muskets started to bother him, so he couldn't go anymore.
ReplyDeleteOur parade got washed out. They refused to postpone and Mom refused to sit in the pouring rain.
Pawsome parade. Too bad that boy stole your frisbee. The kid probably would have cried his eyes out and you would have felt sorry fur him and given him the frisbee anyway.
ReplyDeletethat was a wonderful parade

HEY Sw. Wm. and Miss Lee.... since you touched your paw to the Screen... the luck should have rubbed off right away.
ReplyDeleteYES.... mom put the clover on TAPE and sealed it up... and wrote the date on the tape. It is on the Cold Box in the Kitchen.
We wish we could have been there to see that super pawrade. Or gotten a chance to ride the PIRATE SHIP.
I do not think you are a dud, you showed up in time to let eveyone know that you are ready to celebrate. I enjoyed looking at the pictures of your parade. I have never seen one up close and all. You and Kyla make me LOL>

HaPpY BiRtHdAy dearest Sweet William!! Did Lee treat you some birthday cake and presents?
ReplyDeleteThe parade looked pawsome - so many kilts too, did it make you a wee bit homesick for the motherland?
We hope you had a grrrreat birthday buddy.
Wally & Sammy
Dear Sweet William,
ReplyDeleteI can't help but note that you seem to have a surplus of bagpipe players in your part of the world. I assume that they are mostly competent. I am wondering if you could possibly arrange to send one of them to Aberdeen to replace the piper who stands on the Union Street in Aberdeen and makes noises like a elephant being strangled. Really, you would be doing the whole city a great favour.
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
PS Loved the pictures of the parade.
PPS Hope you had a grrrreat birthday.
DeleteCrikey Sweet William ..... you had a birthday and I didn't know. Happy belated birthday, mate!! Sure hope you had a good day. That was some parade, aye? What fun!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had an awesome birthday!! Our mom just LOVES parades!! Yours looks like it was quite the event! Hope you had fun!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! That parade looks awesome! My sister plays the bagpipes but she's down in Georgia. I don't think they appreciate bagpipes so much down there.
ReplyDeleteRing-ring-ring....Hello? Sir William, are you there or are you still trying to catch a ball or frisbee at the parade grounds? What is this that your birthday passed and I did not know about it?!? Why...I would've thrown you a super party to celebrate! I am going to have to mark this big event on my calendar for next year, I am! I hope your 4th weekend was brilliant and that you and your Lee made some memories together.
ReplyDelete*high paws* and *Cairn cuddles (for Lee)*
Oz
Oh what a great parade! And you had a place in the first row! How great is that? Bet they played your theme song as a birthday gift for you! Happy belated Barkday! oh and btw: give me a sign if they need some wild boys for the crew of that fabulous pirates ship!
ReplyDeleteOh SW, that was one awesome parada, but the best part was your Fifth Barkday, a very happy Barkday to our bestie pal, hope you have like 87 hundred more
ReplyDeleteYour besties
The Mad Scots
I love your patriotic parade! The leash bit was hysterical...we like that kind of humor. You sure have a lot of bag pipers there. I bet it made you proud of your heritage.
ReplyDeleteoxox
Daisy
It looks like you had a great parade. There's one here but Mom and Dad missed it this year....ours is NOTHING like yours!
ReplyDeleteThe Florida Furkids
SW, Happy Belated Barkday! Our hooman sister's birthday is the same as yours! So, absolutely not firecracker duds. Love the parade pics, it looks like it was great fun.
ReplyDeleteWaggies,
Braeden and Seth
Sweet William that was a wonderful parade! Bagpipers and everything. I have never seen bagpipers.
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Sweet William,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, happy happy woofy belated birthday! Looks like you had a great after-birthday party. That parade wasn't for the 4th of July... clearly it was for you! It looked great, I'm pleased to see some pipe bands in there too!
Have a super week,
Pippa :)
Your Clairmont Humane Society van looked pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, super duper duper belated happy birthday!
