What a great parade. Lots of fun.
I will post photos after I figure out how to change the file size on the MAC
so I can post them.

This pretty much says it all for us ...

The rest of ours are located here. Some pre-parade, some post-parade, most from Gina's car since Mrs. Cupcake was a passenger while Mr. Cupcake drove the Little Cupcakes/Candy throwers.

What was the final count -- 18?

Thanks to everyone for a great 4th! Hopefully we didn't throw our candy at the wrong time and they will allow Larry to remain in Rotary  For those who continued on after the parade -- thank you as well. What a blast motoring through Three Tree Point.

What a fun day!  Thanks to Larry (JOIDVIE) for setting this up with the White Center Rotary Club and for providing us the wonderful shirts.  Also thanks to Gumby and his unicycle kids for providing an entertaining group to carry the PSMini banner plus entertain the spectators.  They did a great job doing tricks on their unicycles thrilling the crowds.

Here are a few pictures.

Thanks again to all who made this wonderful parade happen.

Great photos all, keep them coming. I am still learning how to post
photos so I will try one more and see if I can get the size correct.

Very Nice! I guess my nephew Marshall was the youngest driver at age 4  KC you took an excellent shot. Thank you. Too bad we couldn't talk over the earplugs, LOL,  but your music was perfect.

Larry, thank you so much for putting this all together and for your hospitality after.

Now the rolling holiday party moves to my house on Sunday!

The photos are awsome I realized at the last minuet that I left my digital camera at work the day before the parade I could have taken a bunch of photos due to the fact Iwas all over the road and due to the fact that I live less than 10 blocks from where the parade was that the towns people there will be pulling me over to get  my autograph and besides Ronald Mcdonald who was staged behind us a few of the people saw me change into my GUMBY outfit behind my cooper in the middle of the street I love doing the Parade thing but next time I think I'll have to do a rain dance so not to get over heated.

I want to thank everyone who showed up for the parade.  This club is truly an exceptional group of people.  18 people committed to show up for the parade and all 18 showed up.  100 per cent showing is amazing in a group setting.  We had two people who signed up, but later posted to say they couldn't make it, that kind of courtesy is unheard of in society today.  This is truly an exceptional group of individuals and I am proud that you've allowed me to be part of this organization. 

Our Rotary Club meets at Angelo's restaurant in Burien at noon on Thursday's and the talk of today's meeting was about the mini cooper club and what 'a great group of people' they are.  Needless to say, PSMINI Club Members have a standing invitation to lunch at our Rotary meeting.

Thanks for a great event.

Larry

Everybody- this was soooo much fun!!  It was our first club event and we really enjoyed meeting everyone.  So many of you turned out to be in and around West Seattle so now we know why we see so many Coopers here!  I think the 3-Tree Pt. post parade was just as fun too.  Thanks Larry for the after-BBQ as well!

Hi all,
Thank you so much to you guys who put this together! My whole family had
a blast! (Those were my two girls out from throwing candy...getting
sunburned... :) ) I LOVE this club! Everyone is so cool. I'm just really sad that
we had to bolt right after...we promised a BBQ for our friends, and the traffic
we got stuck in earlier forced us to do our grocery shopping after the
parade. Larry, sorry it took us so long to get to the staging area! We kept
getting told (rather sternly) that we couldn't turn left down the street! I don't
know how many times we went around the block! Ha ha! Also, thanks for the
wicked cool shirts! I hope you liked the little banners...if you need anything
else, let me know. Peace! -Fred (Earl Grey)
