Children's Festival 6/3/06
Saturday we were invited to join in a children's parade in St. Paul's Rice Park. That's a parade for children, not containing children. I think. Not by coincidence, most of the participants in our group own American Eskimos. The theme of the parade is Art in Motion, so they painted their dogs. Soba was invited too and was presented with this fashionable white suit so as to join the color themed event.
Reminiscent of the sheep in Wallace and Grommit.
The coloring is halloween hairspray... safe on humans so it must be safe on the puppies, right?
Sometime's it's tough to coordinate a group photo. Funny, the guy on one knee is like that in every attempted photo. The perfect photographee.
So cute. You probably see this everyday in Beverly Hills.
Dogs were only one small part of the parade.
Saphire the jumping American Eskimo. If we had brought the fence from our yard, Gnocchi, our American Eskimo, would have happily jumped that.
It's not often that you're really proud of a photo. This is one of them. Partly because of the colors. Partly because of the flow of it. Partly because he's looking a the camera. Partly because of his shadow. Partly because he's completely off the ground. But also because I only had 3 tries at this photo. I had set the camera to catch individual events, not sequential. No idea who this is. I'm sure he'd enjoy seeing this one though.
A better group photo. Taken by a cop in the band from above.
Below is a pigeon. Doubtful you'd see this in Beverly Hills.
Especially not a saluting pigoen.
Bye, bye, birdie.
Sort of a reggae sound. Fun band.
Waiting in line to buy food.
Trying to pay for the food while holding 4 dogs.
Our happy family.
I like this one too. It's not everyday a 10 foot tall fairy dissapproves of what you're doing. Seems her father feels the same. Oh, the pressure.
Among the many other events, there was sidewalk chalk art. This one was quite impressive.

Very fun! I wish we could have been there. The gentleman on the stilts with the flags looks very familiar. I'll have to ask Corvus if it is someone we know.
And by the way, that pigeon is from a series of very amusing children's picture books. I think the first one was Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.
Of course you realize now that I am going to have to knit Soba a sweater...
Yes, it was more fun than we had anticipated. If you do know the bouncing tall guy, I'd happily pass along the pic.
Ah, yes the pigeon looks familiar.
I'm sure Soba would be quite proud to show off a sweater from you!
