| Getting the bikes ready for the ride down to the parade | Unfortunately, Kirkland doesn’t really understand people who actually use bikes, so bike facilities are often rendered useless, like this bike rack blocked by a face-painting vendor | Here comes the Kids’ Parade | More kids | We found a spot near the beginning, so Debra and the kids could join Dave Asher’s group part-way through | The veterans lead off the main parade | Classic fire truck |
| Hot rod | Classic comfort | Sub vet | Flag twirling | Marching band | Kirkland’s own classic fire truck | Unicycles! |
| Some sort of hot-rod club was represented | It’s a long way from the Waltons | On the plus side, these cars are both impractical and loud | Chevy Bel Air | Studebaker maybe? It sure is orange, whatever it is. ☺ | These dancers were a lot of fun to watch, and colorful too! | Our friend Cathy, showing off her electric RAV4 |
| Classic car | The Deloreans are always fun to see | One of the best-represented vehicles in the parade | We can always count on this one, with the trailer… | …and this one, with the police lights. | Lots of classic cars | Maybe we should lobby to get more floats |
| One more classic car | Didn’t quite catch her while she was airborne | Dave Asher’s group was near the end…Debra and the kids met up with them before they entered the parade route | Since we rode our bikes to the parade, with Innaias in the trailer, getting the tricycle there was tricky | But that, along with signing up the steel-drum player, was just one of many things Dave had to figure out to get his group together ☺ | The fire department brings up the rear | A last shot of Dave’s group coming up the end of the parade route |
