Motofest

Saturday was the hottest day of the whole summer, it was 90 degrees out with heat index around 100 and very humid. I love this weather if I am going to be at the pool or the lake, but I am not too sure about at a parade. Ben, Devin and I headed to the pool for about 2 hours, which felt great. After that we headed to Winnebago for the parade with some friends.

I love how Devin is clapping in this photo. He has been waving at cars as they drive by and clapping, so to capture it was great.

I think everyone in our group had at least one if not two icees along with a Popsicle. This was Devin's first Popsicle (rootbeer flavor) and he loved it. Can you see how hot he was. All the sweat dripping down his face and the red checks!!

Green Giant Days

Saturday was Green Giant Days in town. Devin and I went uptown to see what was going on. we meet Chloe and Sean at the kiddie activity area on Main Street. They had pick a duck, ring toss, tattoos, crafts. Devin really liked the pick a duck pond. So much that he almost fell in a few times. He is one busy little boy. Both Devin and Chloe got their hair colored. They gave Devin a mohawk with red, yellow, and blue coloring. He sat really still for the lady and I think he liked it.

They also had a petting oo uptown. I love this photo even though it is a little blurry. But it shows how much he really liked the goat and was trying to talk to it.

I think it was his favorite because it was his size.

Before we headed home, Devin sat still long enough to get a sun painted on his face. He didn't even try to pick at it.

It was a long and busy day by the time the parade started. Devin had only taken a half hour nap; which he is usually 2 to 3 hours. He was sooooo excited for the parade. He was really getting into it. He would wave and even throw candy back at the people. After the parade we had supper at our house with some friends and family. It was a great time.

I love this photo because it shows hoe excited he was. When he gets really excited he will put his hands in fist and scream. It is so funny to watch him.

The 4th of July

This summer we are in parade mode. On Friday we just bummed around the house, Devin got his hair cut and the we went to Albert Lea for the parade. We went over with Mandy, Sean, and Chloe (they are in parade mode also). It was a good 2 hour parade and Devin lost interest, unless there was candy or a big truck that drove by. It was a little rainy off and on, but the big rain stayed awhile till the parade was done and we were eating.

For the 4th, Mandy and I went to Albert Lea in the morning for a girls day and then meet the boys plus Chloe in Bricelyn for their parade. Devin had a lot of fun at that parade and was waving at all of the firetrucks!! He is getting the parade thing down. Afterwards we went and watched alittle of the mud bogging and then headed home. After the rain shower we decided to have a fire, well Devin took a bath and I enjoyed the fire and then after he was in bed Ben and I went out.

As for today, who knows what we will do. But I think swimming sound like a good time!

Keister Parade

On Saturday we went to Keister in the morning for their parade. It was just Ben, Devin and I (well we brought the puupy too). Devin was really enjoying the parade for the most part. He did a little bored since there were soooo many tractors in the parade.But after the tractors were down the parade got good for him. He had fun picking up the candy. Most of the time he would only go and get the candy with either myself or Ben. But once in awhile he would try to go by himself.
He ended up with so much candy. What a nice time we had.
