4th of July Parade in Clatskanie

Grandpa & Grandma Blecha drive their Model A in the parade...cousin Leif throws candy from the back. Maybe next year Davis can help!


Jamie, Davis and Charlie scored some prime front row seats for the parade. Watching the parade is kind of like watching a John Mellencamp video.

Vintage John Deere tractor brigade - a parade staple.



We're not sure who these pink ladies were, but they were sure having fun! The float directly behind them was a ultra-conservative church group- I'm sure they appreciated the view.


Jamie tells me the family that owns the timber industry represented by this log truck "owns" the town.

Clatskanie Monastery Marimba

And finally, the last "float" of the Clatskanie 4th of July parade... my favorite every year, the local Buddhist Monastery Marimba band, headed up by a huge Dodge Ram truck.

Charlie Finds His Thumb

This one is really just for the grandparents and aunties...Charlie is getting closer to finding his thumb when he's sleeping.

Davis and Charlie smiling at the same time in a photo - a miracle!
