columbus always makes me proud to live here at the doo dah parade. it’s a celebration of weird. it’s a celebration of quirky. it’s a celebration of the rights we have here in america that make it such a great country: freedom of speech and personal expression.

it’s also just a fun freak show.

waiting for the show to start

parade-side feast

ruju & cordelia had front row seats. biking to doo dah is the way to go.

this little guy was feeling independent

PARADE!

nothing cools you off like being fanned with a giant mouth

we spent the remainder of the day cooling off indoors and rounding it out by attending a yummy cookout at mike’s brothers’ house. fireworks from the drive-way. woop woop.

i hope you all found a little independence yesterday. oh, and sorry that july 4th was in the middle of the week. seems unconstitutional…
