July 4th, 2002 - Chalfont Parade

To sum it up in one word:  Hot.  Two words:  Hot, Humid.  Three Words: Hot, Humid, Loud.  We mainly went for one reason, the fire engines.  Luckily there wasn't a fire during the parade.  I think every truck in Central Bucks was there today.  Besides the police cars, antique cars, new cars, and various marching bands, we also saw a special appearance of "Swoop" the Philadelphia Eagles mascot, and a few of the cheerleaders.  Natalie didn't like "Swoop". I must say, he did look a little scary up close.

I had to put some sounds on this page.  Click on the text below to hear some of my best Fire Engine recordings from the parade.

Um.. Just Cheerleaders. Enough said.
