The Tractor Parade 2010

003

Every years towards the end of September there is a parade to kick-off the Pioneer Harvest Fiesta. It isn’t too far from our house, so I loaded up the stroller and the kids and I walked to the parade this year.

0061

Agnes liked the walk, but she was a little nervous once the parade got started.

027

My hubby got there too, he had to work late, so he met us there.

039

There were local mascots.

The Trolley

and our favorite neighbor too.

There were great floats,

but mostly there were tractors.

059

lots and lots of tractors.

The boys loved the parade, and I have to say it is one of my favorites too.

Back To Photo Taking

Lately I’ve been neglecting my camera. It is always with me, tucked away in my bag, but I haven’t been out shooting pictures at all. A few nights ago I headed downtown to pick up dinner and grab a few pictures too.

I’m ready for cloudy days and pretty Fall colors to keep my camera busy.

To The Park

Every once in a while Dylan won’t want to go home after we drop off Thade. Last week we had one of those days, so I decided to take the little kiddos to the park to play.

012

The morning light was beautiful.

0012

The park was so quiet too.

054

I can’t wait for Fall, I love the park in the Autumn.

059

The ducks were at another lake, so we didn’t get to see them this time.

0032

Dylan was really excited to be at the park.

045

030

Agnes was having some troubles with allergies, but she enjoyed watching Dylan climb and run around.

047

Before we knew it, it was time to head back home.

Hopefully we’ll see some cooler temps and more trips to the park.

Daycation: Kiddieland

We are still working on our 25 Things to do this Summer activity list, and one of the activities that made the list was Kiddieland. It was 4th of July weekend and we met up with Grandma and Aunt Jill for a day at the park.

0181

Kiddieland is full of great rides for kids. This time around Dylan was big enough to ride many of the rides. There is a Roller-coaster, a Ferris Wheel, a Train that tours the park, and many other rides too. The kiddos got to have Cotton Candy and Sno-cones too, they were super happy about that one.

0191

There are boats to ride.

023

Dylan found a car to ride too.

046

Both of the boys loved the airplanes.

0551

Thade got really brave this year. He rode a few small rides, and then opted to ride the Roller-coaster, once with Dad, and then a few times by himself.

047

The kiddos had a great time, and we just might have to visit Kiddieland another time or two this Summer.

The Walking Track

0013

One more cloudy day, and that means cooler temps. This time we headed out to the walking track that is at the local college. It is a great 1/2 mile track with a nice paved path, and plenty of benches for the kiddos to rest at too.
