Pictures, pictures and more pictures

I finally uploaded all the pictures I've had sitting on my camera for the past few weeks so I'm going to inundate you all with them now :) Be prepared for lots of loading. haha!

Over Labor Day weekend, we were very busy and didn't get to do all that much. One of the things we DID get to do was attend a fest that was being held in our town market square. We're not entirely sure what the fest was about (hahaha!) but there was lots of food and some neat military parades and bands playing. All kinds of different uniforms! It was fun! These military "groups" all had tents set up outside the town walls (the old town here still has the surrounding walls in tact). It kind of reminded me a lot of our civil war reenactments in the states.

Ryan being sill while we get settled to have lunch.


Sean bundling up! It was a bit chilly. Fall is coming in with a vengeance here!!

Elizabeth, just finishing her mashed up lunch. I had to keep a blanket over her stroller to keep out the wind.


This was one of the parades that came in while we were eating.


Each one of these military groups had a woman with them carrying a cask of... my only guess would be beer. HAHA! I thought that was funny.



They marched in and got in formation right in front of us. Then one of them came by and told us we should move because it was going to be loud. They loaded their guns and shot them off into the sky.




Cub scouts has started up again. Ryan is now a Tiger cub! and Sean a Webelos. I can't believe Sean is already in Webelos!! I remember thinking how big those boys looked when he was only just a Tiger cub.



And the, oh so necessary, silly pose.



Not the same day as above, but we attended a Webelos science fair. So the boys could earn some science awards.



They did science experiments at each table and got to learn and have fun!!




Well, I know, Sean doesn't look like he's having fun... but really, he is! HAHA!



What Elizabeth did during the science fair.



Changing gears again, here's a quick snapshot of the boys working on their home school work. :)



Elizabeth's new past-time is to scoot around on her bottom. She's not crawling yet but knows how to get around. Mobile baby!!!



I hope you enjoyed the menagerie of pictures!!
