Yeah, I’m a dork. I love going to the Indy 500 parade every year. I’m lucky that my husband doesn’t seem to mind being dragged along. We bought tickets this year and sat on Monument Circle in front of the IPL building. Great seats!

I’ll start with our neighbor, a freaking adorable little doggie! I’m not sure what he was…some sort of terrier mix, perhaps? He and his family traveled all of the way from Texas to see the Indy 500.

The first band up was the Purdue All-American Marching Band and their baton corp. Come on! Boiler UP!

I don’t know which high school band this guy was from, but man was he working hard! It was hot!

And, as always, some celebrity sightings… Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts was the pace car driver this year.

An Indy 500 staple, Carol Brady herself, Florence Henderson.

And now, what it is all about…race car drivers!

Multiple Indy 500 winner and (didn’t he win???) Dancing with the Stars winner Helio Castroneves.

The most famous woman in racing…Danica Patrick.

2010 Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti and his beautiful wife, actress Ashely Judd (yeah, this is for my husband!).

I would like to congratulate my awesome husband, Ken, on finishing his sixth 500 Festival Mini-Marathon! I’m so proud of him! He hated the photo I took of him afterward, so I’ll just post this one:

I would also like to congratulate my good friend, Holly, for finishing her very first!

While I waited on Ken and Holly to finish up, I roamed around Military Park to kill time. While I was hanging out, I met this little dude…I can’t remember his name, but he was SO cute!

Here he is looking at his mommy…what an angelic face!
