50th Anniversary Rutland Halloween Parade! This airplane was mounted in the back of the pickup truck.
These are the only pictures I have. We had a nasty wind and rain storm fly through and we all ended up drenched. I put my camera away for the night. Everything stayed tarped until a few minutes before the parade. It poured. It was miserable. We were NOT waterproof. We were cold.
Here’s Milo, looking less then thrilled. It rained all night long. Most of the cardboard vehicles, including Milo’s jeep/wagon, disintegrated by the end of the night.
Between the windstorm, and the unveiling of King Kong, Milo started to get scared. He’s been getting scared of a lot of things lately. Noises, lights, etc. Luckily there was plenty of room (and candy) in the dry, warm truck for him. Skylar hopped in for awhile too. He ended up walking with us once the parade started. I was so happy about that. I love being in the parade with the boys.
Truly amazing float. The sounds effects were pulled right from the old movie. Airplanes, guns and screaming! My mother and her boyfriend built this entire float from the ground up. As they do every year. She is amazingly talented, and legally blind which makes this even MORE amazing.
We all ended up having a great time. I have a video I can post soon. And hopefully I can find some better pictures. This is probably the last Halloween parade we will be in here. Just a little sentimental for me.
