Busy weekend

Still working on the rest of the Traverse City pictures.  On Friday we went to the train crossing and watch Thomas arrive.  The kids loved it, especially Liam who talked about it the rest of the day.  Afterwards we went to our favorite ice cream store for some yummy ice cream.  Next week we will take a ride on Thomas (or I guess be pulled by Thomas), Liam can’t wait.

On Saturday, we were going to take them to the Blueberry Parade.  Ed’s plans changed when he needed to attend a funeral, but my mother headed over there with me.  We have had some really hot days, this was the hottest I remember and at 1:00 it was a scorcher.  The kids still enjoyed the parade and took a nice nap when we came home.

Blueberry Festival Parade, the theme was Under the Sea. We really liked this float.

Liam, just because it’s a Blueberry Parade doesn’t mean you need a blue goatee!

                       Can you see the sweat on his head, it was really hot.  Taking a break with the a/c on.  Doesn’t he look like a big kid with Braeden’s ipod ear things.  (drawing a blank on what those things are called….earphones???)

                         Braeden and Nana touching it out for the rest of the parade, the little ones were taking cover in the van.  I applied sunblock several times and they were all pink.  I discovered later it must have been the heat making them pink because the pink went away after they napped.
