We had strawberry shortcake and chocolate cake at the strawberry festival. Then we burnt off the sugar rolling down the hill in the center of town.
I found a pretty dandelion and wanted it tucked behind my ear. It stayed there until we came home!
I made some new friends but got sad when I didn’t understand their game that they were playing. They mad me really sad but made it up to me by collecting me lots of sticks.
Time for the parade.
Not a big crowd… but it is not a big town.
We had our earplugs in because the firetrucks are LOUD!
Over 50 firetrucks… LOTS of noise… but LOTS of candy!
The more you wave the more candy you get! 🙂
Just before I turned to Mommy and said “Mommy my arm is tired of waving will you wave it for me?”
We saw this guy last year… he must be 7 feet tall! I took our my earplugs because the firetrucks passed. Suddenly these guys and another pack of soldiers loaded their guns and fired! BOOM BOOM BOOM… tears immediately burst from my eyes and I curled up in a ball in Mommy’s lap. Mommy put in new ear plugs and I was fine.
Emmerson looked silly with the ear plugs since his ears are so tiny. Mommy said he looked like Frankenstiens monster with the pink things sticking out of his head!
Mooooo.
Strange to see this in a fireman’s parade.
We came home and played in the yard and then got cleaned up. After our bath we went outside to catch lightning bugs.
The neighbor girls came out to help me and I had about 20 by the end of the night. They are gong to sleep on the dresser near my bed.
I enjoyed the fireworks at 10pm and then Mommy tucked me into bed. She said I was asleep within 1 minute of tucking under.
