Parade update

Morning all, ok, now that the photos are cropped and have been lightened due to my angle of the parade, here are some highlights....

Walking to the Parkerhouse for breakfast


Good Food! and...... 


Breakfast Mimosa's


We lucked out and befriended a fellow photo crazy like me, and we got to sit on one of the few decks that opened up to the street!




Chris Hadfield, Our Canadian Astronaut!! He agreed to be Parade Marshall from the space station!!!


Premier Alison Redford







Sparwood... haha they turned the biggest truck, into the smallest truck for the parade!


Says it all..... 


When flood relief walked by, the crowd roared with applause and cheers!!





Stampede Queen


Kimberly, with Happy Hans happily waving


University of Calgary


Silver from the Lone Ranger Movie



These guys had a pretty loud roar of cheers also!


Now that's talent, highland dancing..... sideways!







Humorous clean up crew....



Yee.....Hawwwww









Ok I admit.... this was my favorite float... hahaha Love long and prosper!!









The zoo lost their float in the flood :-( 



These guys rolled down the street and swung that big gun around pointing at people.... yikes!!





Parks Canada.... too funny! Great idea!




Superman.... I mean Mayor Nenshi!


Heritage Park


Love the mini horses!


And then Mexico had giant people!


This was cool, a biiiig long truck!!!!


That was our awesome seat! 


We walked back to our car at Dave's work because our ride up wouldn't have been able to get thru the streets, and as we crossed the center street bridge... a gentle reminder of the chaos still around us.... Great parade, great day! Thankyou Holly..... Now home to nap.... and get ready for a night at the Stampede grounds!
