Yesterday was a lot of fun, as I’m sure many of our local people can agree to! While our family didn’t participate in every single little thing, we hit up the important stuff.
Before any of the official festivities began, we had mom and Cher over for oatmeal, because thats how it should be! But once that was done, we got outside and walked downtown to join the fun 🙂
The parade is always number one!
The kids got a bunch of candy and yelled and waved and jumped a lot. We let them kind of just go for it with the candy eating, so we brought home a lot less than usual, which was a relief actually, haha! It was a really fun way to spend the morning!
Once the parade was done, the young ones were, too 😅 So quiet time ensued. My mom lovingly took the big kids to the park for some more fun! They loved the magic show!
Once everyone was up, Brady and I brought the little ones to the park to join. They spent the next hour and a half jumping in the bouncy castles. I got a GOOD scare at one point when suddenly Waverly was up at the highest point of a play structure!
Freaked the heck out of me, let me tell you! But she actually laughed at me and told me she was fine, and that she was big. So that was that. Solomon was up there with her, and Laela was close by, also scoffing at my worry, telling me Wavy was having fun. Her own “leave her alone,” I believe. So I did.
Everyone was completely wiped out by the end of the day. Absolutely ALL of us had a light sunburn at least, and some pretty solid fatigue. Yet I can confidently say it was a fantastic day and everyone was really really happy 💜
Today was a quieter recovery day, and tomorrow will be more of the same. Did anyone else miss the memo that they don’t have school tomorrow?? Ya. Note that. Kids are home!
Hopefully resting.
Hopefully happy.
Maybe we’ll even get organized for the next weekend of lake time 💜
