Old Settler's Day

Holly, Amelia, Alex, and Paxton

Yesterday afternoon, Grandma came and picked the kids up from daycare and they headed down to spend a few days at Great Grandma Furness's house in Hillsboro.  Every year Hillsboro has an Old Settlers Day festival and Grandma, Aunt Jody, and Aunt Teri always enter a float in the kids parade.  They love using this as an excuse to get all their grandkids together, build a float, and spend time together.

This year's theme was "The Places You Will Go" and they chose to do the Pixar movie Up.  The kids loved the balloons on the float and being inside the house.  Of course, it was extremely hot out and being in the house was really hot, but Paxton and Alex really enjoyed being in there.  This movie is currently one of the kids favorites to watch, especially Amelia.

Alex was excited at the evening parade when he recognized a good friend in the parade, State Senator Andy Manar!!  Amelia was more interested in the candy than a picture!!  The kids rode a few rides and had lots of food and candy.  The kids had a great time and I know Grandma did too!
