Parades, Friends and More

September 5-8

We had some timely mail appear in our box on Thursday – our Lego magazine subscriptions! Swings make the best reading spots sometimes.101_4419

Of course we had to check out the garden… the peppers are starting to ripen!101_4421

And a couple overly friendly squirrels in the front yard. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the black one but it stayed under the vehicles. This little grey one came so close that I had to tell the girls not to touch it!!!101_4425

101_4429We finished up our week learning about Tanzania!101_4436

Then on Saturday we finally hit a busy day… first to Home Depot to make ring toss games!!!101_4437

101_4438Then onto Steven’s to see a parade with him and Quinn.We have never seen such a large amount of princesses for anything and everything.101_4447

They really like their emergency vehicles

101_4452101_4448It was slow starting and luckily we were right next to a Dollar Tree so I could go get some water (6 for a dollar, though not from the fridge… those were 1.00 each).101_4458

The kids went crazy grabbing candy and had a blast, though we did head out before the parade was over – too much heat and to miss the rush in the parking lot.101_4450

101_4440101_4467After the parade we went back to Steve’s house to have lunch. Yummy hot dogs, fruit, chips… and Phineas and Ferb! I love how they have a whole entertainment room set up in the double portion of their garage in the summer! So fun!101_4471

101_4472Sadly my cold went into overtime so after enjoying some fun in the sun it was time to head home and myself to bed. By Saturday evening I was feverish and Ken was adamant I was not going to church. Sunday morning HE felt under the weather and that put the final nail in the coffin for us making the Sunday School planning session that morning. Thankfully the woman in charge was willing to email me information.

I am just so pleased we managed a day with Steven and Quinn. It has been a while and this parade seems to be our new tradition with them!!! Be sure  to check out the overflow! There was just too much to see HERE101_4460

A Parade of Parade Pictures

September 9

So many pictures, so much fun!

Bitty baby’s first parade

Already a touch of fall!

Watching the parade

A patriotic start

A clown and her monkey

A navy car

There was actually quite a few army vehicles… and a ton of the fire trucks! Current fire trucks

This was playing by itself and slightly off key… seriously creepy, like statues off Dr. Who creepy!

Living statues… speaking of Dr. Who statues…

Waving away

Excited kids

High kicks

A t-shirt wearing puppy that the owner, once asked, let the kids all pet

Cool baby

Just too fashionable

Sweet puppy

Working that tricycle up the hill together
