Sublimity Harvest Fest Parade

I forgot to post about the Sublimity Harvest Fest! It's been so busy and crazy here and I've had so many projects on the computer to do. So, back on Sept. 11 we were in the Sublimity Harvest Fest parade and I surprised Avery with inviting his best friend Avalyn to come along (as well as her brother Mason and Mom Nikee).


Our float got 3rd place this year. We got 1st last year, but if we don't hardly change the float it leaves me surprised we even got 3rd.


But that's okay, we'll take it!


Emmett likes "driving" the tractor


Julie does too.


I seriously love taking Avalyn's picture, she's such a little model!


It didn't take long for the kids to get into the candy.




Sweet Julie and Mom Katrina


Such eyes...


Waiting for our turn, watching other floats go by


And the monster trucks go by


A picture of me! Amazing. (Thanks Nikee)


Really, no one could avoid pointing a camera at this lovely face, right?




Jump!


Since we all wore our John Deere gear, Mr. E wore his new hat he got for his birthday.


Look at Julie go!


Uncle Kevin accidentally beaned Avery in the eye with a little water bottle.


"Are you okay?"


"Here, lets cool it off with the water"


"Are you kidding me, get away, you dirty rat!"


"I said stay away!"


Avery and Kevin are a lot alike, which of course means Avery can idolize him and hate him within the space of 2 breaths.

He managed to heal up enough to take some pictures with his girl.


Funny, if they know each other as adults, their heights would probably still be about that proportion.


When we got back to our house after the parade, Avalyn got to stay a while and play. Avalyn and Carson are hiding from Avery here in a rousing game of hide-n-seek.


What a fun day!
