Here we are waiting for the parade to begin
We arrived at about 10am and had a hard time maneuvering around the city and finding a parking spot. Some people were selling their drive way spots for $10!
The whole town is already 'taken' when you get there...it's very 
discouraging! They allow people to 'mark' their spots on Friday am...not allowing for out-of-town guests. We did find a beautiful spot right on a corner....which they can't mark because it is a cross walk. Once the parade begins....people are 4-5 deep and in some spots, even deeper!
They have 160 floats in the parade..so it's pretty long! We got sprinkled on a few times..but nothing serious!
I took a lot of grief over this picture...it's not a great shot..but you can read that it's the coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins. If you didn't know, they beat the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Dan is from Grand Haven originally.
No parade is complete without the Scottsville Band! If you have ever seen them, you know what I'm talking about!
Bag pipes
A clown
K-9 dog
We had a good time together. We stopped at Red Robin to eat on the way home. We had won a $10 gift certificate at the Gluten Free Food Fair a couple months back..so we decide to use it. They accommodated the GF kids very nicely. It's always very scary taking then out to eat!
