Parade the Circle 2012

We've been quite busy over the past few weeks, making the most of the beautiful summer weather. At the beginning of June, we went to Parade the Circle at University Circle, which kicks off the season of events at Wade Park. It's presented by the Cleveland Museum of Art, and this year's theme was Branches Become Roots; Cycles: Coming Back/Going Forward. They estimate that over 70,000 people attend. It's exciting to have such a wonderful cultural event taking place so close to home.

Ainsley was very patient waiting for the parade to start. Next year, we'll need to get there a bit earlier to get a seat closer to the beginning of the parade route. It took over an hour for the parade to get to us!

The parade entries are so creative and fun to see. Here are just a few of the very colorful parade "participants".
