Grandma Lucy's Birthday / Shrine Parade in Havelock

Saturday, July 28th was my Mom's birthday...and the Shriner's were having their annual parade in Havelock, so Zoie, Lindsay, Mom & I headed down to Havelock Ave to find a shady spot to watch the parade. Zoie wasn't sure what was going on at first, but once the Shriner's marching band started coming down the street, she was into it! She loved hearing the band music! I don't know if she was too sure about the rest of it, especially the clowns, but it was definitely an experience for her and the rest of us enjoyed the parade and watching Zoie experience her first parade! Here are a few pics (of course!):

Can't start a parade without Old Glory!!


Who IS this and why is their face so strange?!


Can't forget the FOOTBALL game!! (Thanks for marking the date!)
