4th of July Steam Engine Parade

We took a break today to enjoy something you don't get to see often--a steam engine parade! No, these are not train engines, they are tractors that run on wood burning steam engines.   If you've not been to one of these, the next 4th of July, go to this morning parade in downtown Cumming, GA


They come in all sizes, even tiny tricycle size:




Bring your earplugs, because when these steam engines need to let off steam, they do it through a whistle, and it is LOUD. 



We forgot our earplugs, but about halfway through the parade (and hearing loss), they handed out free earplugs!  Even with the earplugs, Isabel had enough.  ;)
