Beautiful weekend!

It was so nice this weekend and we spent most of it outdoors!! On Saturday night we went to a parade here in town and it was a really good one. Saturday kicked off the Lilac Festival (what that is I don't really know) and they had an Armed Forces Torch Light Parade. It lasted 3 hours!!! The kids loved it. We were worried that Ella would be overstimulated and scared from the loud noises (which she sometime is) but she absolutly loved it. She claped and waved for most of the 3 hours! Here are a few pics from the parade.

The start of the parade

and no she is not sun burned

both my kids turn red when they

get warm.

OH MY GOODNESS a

police car!!!

Look mom. It was so funny he had

to turn around and tell me to look

at everything!

Ella waving to me as the

parade wore on.

Making the boo-hoo face at dad.

I like this pic cause she looks so

long (thought she's not : )

Earlier in the day we went out

to Nana's house that is being built.

Showing me his muscles!

These next 3 pics are me trying to

capture Ella's new skill. Whenever

music starts she snaps. It is the cutest thing ever! Of course there

is no sound but boy she is trying!

How's that for fine motor skills!

These were at the park on Sunday, we were supposed to be having a get together of the Down syndrome network but only us and one other family showed up. That's okay though the kids still had fun at the park.

Loaded up in their new wagon!!
