.: Trucks and water, Round 1

My dad finally is acting on a decades-old, though not-widely-known, interest in antique fire engines. (I guess when you've spent nearly 20 years shuffling a fleet of Volvos in the driveway, the thought of parking an American LaFrance is pleasant.)
Anyway, he lured a gang of antique trucks (they're all retired; some are more antique than others) to take part in Stillwater's Lumberjack Days parade last summer. It was dubbed a success. In fact, some might say it was too much fun for Lumberjack Days, so he decided to organize a muster on its own weekend this year. It's June 27; you've probably already received an invitation.
In the meantime, a few trucks from the club took part in the Memorial Day parade in Bayport this morning. Afterward, they gathered at the levee in Stillwater to shoot water into the St. Croix, drawing a nice little crowd of old men with cameras and young parents with captivated kids.
We brought Elise. She was excited for a little while, pointing at the trucks and saying something that sort of resembled "truck" but also left you wondering where she picks up such foul language. Then she discovered pavement and wide open spaces, so she roamed. We followed.
