its a good day for a parade

This summer the girls walked in the Buffalo Bills Day parade.
They walked with their gymnastics club.
Mike carried Isabel on his shoulders and they handed out candy, while
Grace walked with the team and did handstands and cool things like that.
I parked the car on the otherside of the route and took some pictures.

All of my pictures were at the end of the parade route on the off streets, but they walked down Main Street Golden and got the true parade effect.  It's a great parade to go to with your family, if you've never been, and they walked at the beginning of the parade, so we actually were able to sit down and watch the rest.  We had so much fun!  Wish you could have joined us!

Polka-Dot Legs

That's what Isabel called them.

While we ate snack on the couch one day

she lined them all in a row  

and announced "Polka-dot legs!"

Then ate them all gone!

Cute as can be.

First Day

Its the first day of school!
And here she goes growing up on me n' all.
How dare she do that.

FOURTH GRADE
