Memorial Day

On Memorial Day, we (our church) participated in the Monona Memorial Day parade with 2 floats, one with our worship team and another with our AWANA program. Emma, Abigail and Mommy rode on the AWANA float and had lots of fun throwing candy.

Abby made a "not smiling" face for the camera.

Camels grazing on somebody's lawn. I hope they cleaned up after them!

Miniature pirates on another church's float. We thought the little guy sucking on a lollipop through his nose ring was cute.

After the parade back at church, Oakfest was in full swing, complete with carnival games, concessions and let's not forget the 4 bounce houses! Emma spent most of the afternoon jumping around and would only stop when Mommy told her she could get her face painted by Twinkle's Mommy.

Emma was very proud to have her picture taken with Twinkle. She thinks it would be lots of fun to be a clown!
