Every family photo ever taken of my family has either been taken AT the Raymond Parade, AFTER the Raymond Parade in Vivian's backyard, or after the parade at the farm on a tractor. It's true: you wanna July photo, it's going to be in red & white clothing with parade paraphanelia. Any and all studio photos taken of my family are done in the fall: right before Christmas cards or at a wedding.

More cute Canada pix: Asa AT parade, and then post-parade with the sucker snuggle.
