Not Fools in My Book

My family went down to Ann Arbor this afternoon and joined in the Parade of Fools. I don't agree with the title, I thought it was rather brilliant. No candy in this parade, only home-made streamers and square white paper stapled on cardboard with a crayon taped on back. Another stroke of brilliance! The kids loved it, especially when the extremely over sized cat shot out an extremely large turd.


They added an interesting element to the flow of the parade. It started out from the right and in the middle of the parade puppets started coming from the left side. They had obviously planned this and crossed, interweaving through each other. Here were my favs.



I have an evening to myself and the children are sleeping. Hmmmm. What shall I do? The obsessive Niki comes out and. . . . .I am going to watch Into the Wild again and see what my take on it is today.
