Parade, Water, and Fireworks

The post title pretty much says it all.  Last Saturday was Umatilla's Landing Days.  I don't know how many cities actually celebrate their founding day, but good old Umatilla does.  My mom and Conner also came to visit very early and spent the day with us.  So that was fun.

Waiting for the parade to begin.  The girls did a good job waiting.

Whitney got the most into the parade.  She would wave at everyone.  Here she watches a dance team go by.

And the funny little cars.

You know it is kind of a sad, rinky dink parade when the big hit is the fire station.  Thankfully, my kids are little enough to not know that the parade wasn't very exciting.

After lunch we all went to the pool in Hermiston.  Rachel was very clingy and had a hard time letting go of us. But she agreed to sit out by herself for the picture.  The pool was super crowded but it was fun.

Whitney got more use to the water and would walk around by herself if the water wasn't too deep.  Megan also wasn't thrilled with the water, but we didn't get a picture of that.

That night was fireworks.  The funny story about the fireworks was that we didn't know where we should go to see them.  Last year we watched them from close to our house and we couldn't see them very well.  So we decided to go down to a park.  We thought it would be crowded, but it was empty so we were worried that we wouldn't be able to see them.  Will wanted to take some nice pictures but then the sprinklers turned on like the same time the fireworks began.  So a fast picture was all we got.  Oh well.  The fireworks were still fun to see.

Not part of Landing Days, but we did just bump Megan up to a bigger size of clothes.  Now she is wearing twelve months.  She is happy with her cute outfit.
