Old Home Day

Old Home Day 2008, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

Last year we made it to the Old Home Day Parade purely by accident. At the last minute we found out there was a parade and made it just as it started. But it was HOT. We ROASTED last year. But the kids LOVED it. They got tons of candy and there were fire trucks and it was LOUD.

This year was an exact freaking replay.

We were almost late to the parade. ( I KNOW!) When we left it was cloudy and humid, which isn't that bad. The moisture in the air get's a little chill to it, so it's not oppressive. BUT, as soon as we sat down, the sun came out full force and heated all that humidity, and pretty soon we were boiling like little pieces of spaghetti.

WE LIVED THRU IT!

Aiden wanted what the boy in front of us had.
I told him it was a SLUSH.
He asked the lady behind the counter for a blue FLUSH.
I said No it's a SLUSH.
He said I KNOW a FLUSH.
Whatever..
So, let it be known:
2009 Old Home Day Aiden got his first blue FLUSH.

Emily looked like a baby in last years picture.

Emily looks like she's going off to collage in the 2009 version.

We had a lovely birthday party for Nicole's friend Sabrina.
She's 15 and has spent most of the summer here.

Because of the upcoming CAKE and PIZZA, I had to shred early, like 3:00. It was OK, but I like the later at night workouts. I can't believe I've made it this far!
