This has been a great summer so far. We are still in a transition period since we are not at our own place but it has been a great experience for the kids to get to know some of the west coast grandparents so well.
A couple of weeks ago we finally made it to a parade! I am a sucker for parades, not sure why...I just love them. This one was for a local festival celebrating the towns roots. It was very cute. Colin and Meli loved the parade. No meltdowns! The parade was very cute. There were some different local groups, the high school cheerleaders, a dance team and some locals who had graduated in the 70's celebrating a well-known movie that was filmed here. They were dressed in togas dancing to "Shout". Hmmm...I wonder how many will know what movie that is?!?! I am liking this town that my dad lives a lot more than I thought I would. It has a very cute small town appeal.
After the parade, we went to the festival with the kids. Colin got his first cotton candy. He loved it! Thankfully he did not want to eat too much of it. (I cringe when I feel they are having too much sugar). Meli seemed to like the taste but did not like the texture of it. Only one bite for her.
It was a fun week. We went back just the adults that evening. We have found a sweet babysitter here, so that it a nice break from taking the kids everywhere with us. Or more often just passing on things because we did not want to deal with two overly-active kids.
Sweet Meli is such a rough and tumble tomboy (no fear and loves to get dirty) but she definitely has a girlie side. She likes to pick her clothes out lately and loves anything My Little Ponies. She also loves to play with my make-up and my purse. Here she is using one of my purses that she put all of her necessities in it. Like her keys, her phone (toy), and my lip gloss. What a cutie!
