I went to the annual Huntington Beach parade for the first time in 10 years

If you don't watch the T.V. sitcom "The Middle" you won't recognize this little cutie. He plays a character named Brick on the show and he is freakin' hilarious! His real name is Atticus Schaffer and if you don't follow the show at least give it a try. You will howl! Atticus was the teen grand marshall for the parade this year.Could we just do without the holy rollers?
A big thanks and lots of clapping for our military heroes!
Huntington's finest led the parade.
This guy just looked so happy (but don't you think he's a little old to be wearing a boy scout uniform?Huntington Beach Fire.
Sparky
The HB police chopper did a fly over at the beginning of the parade.
This drum corps was hot,hot,hot!
This was just so wrong on so many levels. I couldn't get a shot of these guys and gals from the front so I got the best rear shot I could. The costumes were one piece blue and gold velour.
I loved this mini jet. Wouldn't you love to drive to around in one of those?
No parade is complete without the clowns....
Jesse Sapolu was the sports grand marshall for the parade.
McGruff the crime dog was on the case.
These beautiful and courageous women were a bright spot in the parade. To all of you who have,are(or will) battle breast (or any other kind of)cancer I salute you!
This entry was the avatar float and what you are seeing is a young lady on a bar doing gymnastics. She is in an avatar costume and yes those are her feet at the top of the picture.
And here is another avatar cutie.
I couldn't resist taking a picture of father and son in their fur antler hats.
All in all it was a grand way to spend the 4th of July morning.
