Parade Fun

Sound of Idaho Marching Band.

A clever way to get kids, their basses and amps down the parade route.

Balloon flowers. I've got it pinned. Need to try it!

Lewiston High School Marching Band.

Republican float. Quite creative.

My big girls watching the parade.

Friends

This weekend we got to have a quick visit with our friend Kent and Annie. Of course they brought their kids with them. Not much time to play, but nice to catch up.

Oliver, Brooke, Mae, Etta. We were in the music building waiting for things to get going. It was much warmer inside than out.

Tom Lawrence. The previous director's son. He enjoyed playing with the all the kids in the area.

He even shared his popcorn!

Fall Walk

The girls & I headed out last Wednesday for a fall walk. I took my camera to capture the magical time we were going to have. Unfortunately, after walking on all of the parking curbs on the next block Mae decided she needed to be carried the. entire. rest. of. the. way. Therefore, no more pics. These two will have to do.

Etta always runs ahead and I have her sit in "the square" and wait. It has worked well so far.

Mae wanted (well, not so much) in on the picture action. She sometimes gets frustrated because she wants to be ahead like Etta, but by the time we catch up it's time to go on.

Birthday Visit

Mom and Dad were able to visit last weekend for a belated party for Mae. My mom got all the good pics for the long weekend, but I did get this parting shot. With Bob & Etta at school Mae got to have the photo op all to herself!

Kramer at the Fair

Last weekend Bob & Etta entered Steve's chicken, Kramer, in the Nez Perce County Fair. She won a blue ribbon!!

Loaded in the car to head to the fair.

Getting settled in to new digs. Not a happy thing for a free range chicken.

Apparently the first thing Kramer did when she got back to "the farm" was make a beeline for the hen house and lay the egg that had been backed up for 3 days.

Sunflowers ~ Round 2

So glad that Bob decided to take some more pictures of the sunflowers. We had a pretty strong wind here about a week and a half ago an all of the big ones are bent over now.

Mae

Seriously, she is *so* funny.
