My Life

READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE BEST PICS!

If you’ve been reading Melynda’s Blog you know that the spring has been nearly interminable. Well it has finally given way to summer and so to celebrate, we busted out the grill and had some veggies and steak. Veggies for all, steak for me. It was very satisfying to put things on top of fire.

Veggies a’Grillin’

The Majesty!

Protein for Henry

Then, yesterday was the annual Livingston Roundup Parade. I put chairs out at 8 a.m. (you can do that here) and GrandMogie and Big Henry came over (M. had to work). At around 2:30 we headed down for a 3pm start. It was a little overwhelming but Anders got the hang of things pretty quickly. Last year he napped through the first five minutes only to be woken up by a loud blast of fire engine siren right in front of us. It made him cry. But this year, it was all Lemonade, crazy sites, and picking up candy and giving it to other kids (seriously, he had more interest in putting the candy where it belonged than eating it, probably b/c he didn’t know what it was.)

The Caledonians gave Anders the dancing feet.

political correctness gone awry

Fun with Hats is some of the best fun out there.

Mule trains are Big Henry’s favorites

First we pick it up…

Then we put it in the pile…

…Bump, bump.

The big excitement was adding another major politician to his photo album. This time he met the Governor of the State of Montana,

With Governor Schweitzer!
