We woke up to a overcast sky this morning

thinking will we be rained on.

We went to the Rupert Parade and sat in our usual place to

watch the parade in the shade.

As we sat there waiting for the Parade to start you noticed

the temper start to rise.

From 65's to 70's and 80's by the time the Parade was over it was in the 90's.

With a cool breeze now and then.

Some new things in the Parade this year was the Color guard had a gentlemen playing the bagpipes, the F-10 can from the East went to the West.
