Fiesta Days Parade

Every year the community of Morongo Valley has a Fiesta Days parade and celebration. The parade is one of the shortest you can find. It took us two and a half minutes to travel the entire length of the parade route. The parade is short enough that we all go around the block and go through the route again. It's still fun to be a part of it.

The staging area for the parade is right in front of our station. You can see Grant cleaning up after one of the horses left a present.


Here we are in line. The wood chipper in front of us is dressed up like a horse.


A better view of the "horse."


Ashley got to escort Sparky around the parade. I felt sorry for them. They were right in front of the loudest siren in the Morongo Basin and they forgot their ear plugs
.

Ashley gets a lot of crap from us because he has a large butt. His nickname is "donkey booty" and so when we saw that they had donkey rides we all chipped in and got him one. While he was riding away there were lots of comments like, "WOW! That's a lot of ass."

This is our dunk tank. This water clearly shows why we drink bottled water.


Yes, people got dunked into that gross water.
