The Boy Who Cried at Parades

Why is this boy crying at this parade? What could have happened?



We drove down to Kalispell, Montana for the 4th of July weekend this summer, the first event in a jam-packed July. While there, we took in the parade.



The 4th of July is a great time to be with family -- and a great excuse to shoot off fireworks and watch for candy at parades.



This was Katie's first experience with parades and with Montana. She seemed to find both to her liking, and was generally enthusiastic while the procession went by.



Speaking of enthusiasm, I am strongly considering joining the 4-H Llama-Alpaca Club.



Scott was most enthusiastic about the big trucks that went by... especially the RED ones.



He was also excited when he heard that some people were going by handing out RED frisbees. However, they didn't give one out to everyone and Scott missed out. This was more than he could bear.



More than he could BEAR [weeping].
