Festivities

We took in the festivities of the wet weekend of the festival. I was amazed at how many people came out for the events. I took a couple of pictures of us "enjoying" the grand parade.....we were all soaked by the end of it but we are happy to have seen Shawn's two nephews who play in a pipe and drum band. Of course, it would have been nice if they had been closer to the beginning of the parade than the end! Jacob kept saying "Neigh...Neigh..." whenever horses went by and Alexander and Benjamin enjoyed all the different bands and the police on motorcycles. As you can tell by the picture, Hannah was not too thrilled with the parade but she did dance a little to the music of a couple bands.





We are so glad to have Shawn home! He had a great trip but is also very happy to be home.
After the fair, we came home, had hot chocolate, warm muffins from the oven and a nice warm bath and then PJs for the kids. You can have fun in the rain afterall! Oh, I didn't get a photo but Alexander and Benjamin had fun in the rain after church today as well. The back part of our driveway is slopped in a little causing quite major flooding when it rains. So when we got home from church today, the boys decided to splash in the puddles a bit...okay, alot! Although they had on raincoats and rainboots, they were thoroughly soaked. But boy did they have fun!
