how ironic

a strangely hilarious thing happened today. the subtitle of my last post actually came true in a way other than what i intended when i wrote it. this morning we heard lots and lots of truck horns going off through town and i vaguely recalled hearing something about a truck parade. well, if you know my boys you know that of course we had to rush out and find it. so i'm driving along and thinking, man, traffic sure is slow and there sure are a lot of big trucks on the road... and it didn't take long before i realized that somehow i had actually inserted our sweet minivan right into the middle of this so-called truck parade. people were waving and the truck drivers all around us were still blowing their horns. apparently, since the parade went all the way from zeeland to holland down a main road, they don't completely shut it down to the rest of traffic. i laughed for a while after that.

so funny....i have done the same thing! one time i ended up driving in a parade that was going through borculo. i don't even remember why i was driving through borculo, but i do remember the embarassment!

You should have went with the flow...we were downtown Holland watching that same parade come through...I would have loved (& probably laughed a bit, too) to have been watching, and then all of a sudden see the Dietsche van! Talk about being a pretty awesome mom in the eyes of your boys :o)

lisa,

i actually saw your dad by the side of the road at one point... but needless to say i didn't make a ton of effort to get his attention. :)

the boys didn't even enjoy it all that much because it was so LOUD!
