Visitors For Festival Of Bands

My dad and his wife, Maria came to visit the weekend after Noah’s party, which is also Festival of Bands weekend! 

They brought gifts the the little man! And planned ahead by bringing a Christmas present!

I see pirate adventures in his future!  AYE!!!! Captain Noah!  Of course in a matter of half an hour he had broken something on the telescope.  We’ll get it fixed through and gaze at the sky this summer.

The next day it was time for marching bands! And a really, REALLY long parade in the chilly, chilly morning.  We found a place in front of the judges that was also out of the wind and tried to stay warm.

Roosevelt and Washington were first and second!  I couldn’t believe how SMALL the bands were, especially Washington’s!  We used to have row after row after row of flutes.  I only saw a tiny handful.  Wowzers!

See, we were all bundled up!  We even bought a new thermos and filled it with Hot Soy Chocolate Milk.

Noah loved the fire trucks!  But the guy apologized that he couldn’t honk the horn for some reason.  Bummer. Noah was happy with a picture though.  Say, “fireman!”
