I got back from my morning run just in time to pack up the family and head down to lower North Mankato for the fun days parade. We’re very lucky that we know people who live on the parade route who love to entertain and welcome people over to their home. Unfortunately, this year they were unable to be there due to a death in the family, but still opened up their house and yard to us (and my parents, whose first experience with the fun days parade was…less than fun.) Doubly unfortunate, it poured and stormed almost the entire parade. Full on lightning and crazy stuff before it started and then just yucky drizzle for an hour and a half during the parade. UGH, it was mostly miserable. But, there was candy, eh?
Of course, after the parade it was clear blue skies for the rest of the day. Lauren loved the octopus and Papa even joined her on the crazy airplane ride (it was a bit wild for her, but she loved it once she stepped off and wanted to go again.)
Jack enjoyed the fun house and all of its fun!
Jack and Lauren had fun so that's all that mattered. For us seeing the smiles on there faces is enough.
