Good Old Days

This week has flown by - we've been trying to start our preparations for baby Miller #2 (buying a crib, putting together his dresser, etc) and between that and keeping up with Crosby we've been lucky to come up for air.  Our days seem quick, but boy is it fun!

This Saturday, when our original plans were cancelled, we decided we'd take a bite out of small town Americana...we attended the Good Old Days Festival in "downtown" Auburn. It was a blast! Crosby made a killing in freebies from booths, he had bags and bags of treasures, including some mighty handsome new sunglasses.  He got to see ponies and square dancing and do lots of amusing people watching.  But the very best part was the parade.  I had no idea if he would like it or not so I figured starting with a small scale parade was best - but boy was he hooked.  The marching bands, fire trucks, old cars, cheerleaders, and people constantly giving him candy or "papers, mommy!" were almost too much for him to stand!  To top it all off he got to even partake in Kettlecorn...his love of this food is I think part of Nelson DNA.   He'd creep as close to the action as we'd let him and got SO excited to see whatever was coming down the road next.  We knew he had a great time when we left and he said his famous "I LIKED THAT" words..."I try it again sometimes?"

My Dad was thinking about signing up to ride on this float next year...
