Memorial Day. The town has a home style parade - scouts, high school band, the fire dept, the police, local civic groups and lots of kids. This is year # 3 for Lela and Lian's first. We marched with the Community Chest, or rather I marched and they strollered. The parade goes down Main Street, right past our church where Jamie and Grandma were viewing the parade.
All American girl! All decked out for the day.
After the parade, it's on to the annual picnic at the Church in the rectory backyard. The suspects line up, Lela the Mouth, G-ma, DeHman, Lian the Kid.
The Bouncy Castle - the church bought one for our fair where it earns its keep, and it's out for fun for events like the picnic. Lela is a huge fan and Lian can keep her feet under her now.
Lela and her posse.
The sack race - that's Lela on the left doing it for the first time ever and coming in second against older kids.
Lela wins the wheelbarrow race with handling provided by mom. She has pretty good biceps for a skinny mini. We were among the last to leave as usual, home for an early evening to recuperated from the weekend.
(and you are wondering why it took me 4 weeks to post this - all complaints can be directed to my blinking computer, which has deleted this post 4 times.)
