The day started out in a mad rush with Amy and kids to the Mapelton Parade. We ended up finding where it was ending so we were able to actually see most all of even though we were a half hour late. It was a really cute, small-town parade with most of the kids from the town being in the floats. It was blistering hot though, so after trying to brave the lines for a snowcone in the park afterwards, we opted for a line-less 7-11 for a Slurpee.
Elmo and Mickey were a huge hit. It’s a good thing you can’t see the guy in the Mickey Mouse outfit because he was probably staring at Isaac’s ninja sword and thinking “what the?”. And yes, Isaac must go everywhere with his cowboy hat. Gone are the blessed days when he let me choose his outfits for him.
We finished the day off at Jen’s pool with lots of friends. We thoroughly enjoyed the water, friends and food! Thank you Jen!
this last shot of Isaac is one of my faves ever!!
His eyes look amazing in the last one. One day he’s just going to gaze at some girl and she’ll fall down so in love. I LOVE that he wants to wear his cowboy hat everywhere. PLEASE let him bring it to camp…
Oh boo-hoo I miss those days too =< Jillian has become quite the fashionista and will have almost nothing to do with things I buy for her without her approval =< That's okay though, I'd rather she find her own expression and individuality. I just didn't know it would start so early??Beautiful shots, as usual, just stunning. PS: have fun with your niece when she arrives! Can’t wait to see the photos!
I agree with Emily…let the boy pack for the trip himself! Let’s see what he ends up with. Great pictures!
It could be worse than a cowboy hat. . . trust me.
