A Parade and a Fair #1

(Yup, more cute pictures next weekend at Fair #2)

This morning after picking up Glenn’s mom we headed out to the first band parad of the year.  Elspeth was pretty excited.  We have spent the last week practising walking beside someone so as to avoid being run over by the other band members.  She did pretty good with it this morning so I suppose the practise paid off.  Anyways, the band led the whole parade today which is pretty awesome.  I got to walk the whole parade root (just in case) and she did really well.  A few mistakes in her rhythms but overall pretty darn good!  By the end of the parade she was running with sweat but perked right up with some water and ginger snaps.

Then it was off to the fair to check out the exhibits.  They had the coolest lint creatures made from dryer lint.  Very creative.  One looked like a lizard and another an alien.  Another fair highlight was seeing the AquaDogs in action.  Everytime they splashed into the pool I felt so jealous as we stood there being hot.  Top the whole thing off with an ice cream for the road it was a delightful day.
