Swallows Day Parade

The Lion and a Cheetah Song.

We have a song from the Nashville soundtrack called The Wrong Song. The kids started requesting to hear the Cheetah Song and we figured out it was this song because in it they say: "You've got the wrong song comin through your speakers, this one's about a liar and a cheater"...lion and a cheetah.

Swallows Day Parade

This is how we roll for seating at a parade

The parade started off fine...

Then after the first couple of people, mayhem broke out. These two Percheron horses were startled and started kicking and bucking and running. They ran right into a crowd of people right down the road from us.

There was a man in a wheelchair that couldn't get out the way and he was hurt and taken to the hospital.

Several ambulances and 45 minutes later the parade was back on.

Ben's clinic was in it!

Here's the practice manager and the other two doctors. Ben was actually behind the scenes giving some shots to horses who needed a little calming (if the owners so chose)...the stuff that those Percherons needed!!

Because the parade was so delayed we had to leave early for a baseball game and didn't get to see the whole thing. But it's such a cute city and fun event!
