The Festival - Recapped

We started the Festival celebration off with the Saturday morning parade. My favorite parade piece? This tractor painted especially for Breast Cancer Awareness. I do believe this was done in memory of someone in particular.
Parade goers - looking HAPpy. Yes, those are big kid gloves on OJ.
TO was treated to a $1 yo-yo balloon.
OJ was "dog tired" by this point in the day. Tongue out and all. That's my headless sister walking next to him.
Pony ride!
The apple berry spinner took my brother "Bucket" and TO for a ride.
Someone excited OJ.
OJ used to be afraid of being up in the air like this. He's 98% okay with it now. This day? He loved it.
A game of chicken on Bucket and Grandpa's shoulders. Enlarge to see some silly faces.
Mean muggin' faces.
If this face doesn't say "fun!", I don't know what does.
Here is the cemetery corner just a few blocks from my dad's house. It always has the prettiest row of trees.

I've always wanted to go on those jumbo slide things...looks like a blast! And I love that last picture, so beautiful and fall-ish!

These are so great! I hope to have mine up soon, but they are not nearly as good as your's!

Jewls - Very soon you'll be having to crawl up one of those and fetch a crying kid, I bet! :)

Emily - I plan on uploading some (and extras) to FB tonight....some from the evening out as well. I will crop appropriately so that all attire appears as it should. ;)

Good to know that you have a brother named Bucket and a headless sister!

I have a feeling that TO and Brevitt would love each other.

Looks like a fun festival.

I got sooo nostalgic when I saw those beautiful fall trees by your dad's house. I think I miss New England the most in the fall.

Thanks for stopping by to say my comment made me laugh. You leaving me a comment about my comment making you laugh made me laugh, so thank YOU.

Your pictures are adorable. It looks like your little man was having so much fun. I've never seen a spinning strawberry before. Too cute!

You have to call me "Bucket". I can't even be called by my name - Jimmy! You could at least put "Lil J" in my pic with T.O. where we look tough haha :)
