I’m still sorting the 600+ photos from a wonderful nearly 3-hour parade for Independence Day here with lots of bands and flags and children. Tonight I share just a few of my children shots, some in the parade and many watching it. This satisfies what I wanted to photograph in last night’s lantern parade and did not accomplish. Children are so photogenic!

Nicole, 6 or 7, is already a drummer in a band! Son of my Spanish teacher, in band I raised $ for. |

Some of the dancers weren’t so good, but this group was great, with traditional dancing! |

I watched this boy sneak under the railing to sit on curb for closer view! |

The red, white & blue traditional dress is most typical for Independence Day and I’ll show adults wearing them another day. |

And this is the typical traditional dress for boys and men. I wore a hat like this but no bandanna, just a red, white & blue shirt! |

Another traditional dress for 15th of September! All of these are made by parents or a seamstress, you cannot buy them in stores. |

And finally, a father-son bonding moment on the parade route. This may be my favorite photo from the parade. |
I have lots of photos of a lot of bands and really a lot of flags I’ll share a few of, plus some adult costumes and some “different” things in the parade in future posts.
