Battle of the Flowers Parade, LIVE

The parade was full of patriotism, big flags, marching bands, high school ROTC groups, Air Force bands, floats, dutchesses, kings, princes, cowboy boots, horses and big balloons (which was obviously the boys' favorites). As you can see, my lady friends were dressed for a real Kentucky derby style race with the large hats, but fiesta shirts and flowers topped off the outfits.
