First full week of summer

I'm on a roll! Two posts in two days!
Last week was Kaden's first full week of summer vacation. He had VBS at Calvary. He had a great time, like always. I believe this was his 3rd summer of VBS. He loves the music, the crafts and of course, the friends. He has been lucky to have his buddy Matthew in his group every year. He also is lucky that Matthew's mom loves to have a playmate for Matthew after VBS! They spent a lot of time together last week. Boys just being boys.
On Thursday, we loaded the boys (and Addie! what a good little trooper she is!) up and went to the annual Viola Gopher Count (isn't that SO Minnesotan???) Parade. I first discovered this parade years ago when I was doing daycare & just had Kaden. If I remember right, I was lucky enough to just have one daycare kid on parade day and we loaded up and went. I have been lovin' this parade ever since! It is so small, no big, huge crowds and they throw a ton of candy.
Here are Monica's professional pictures:
You can see Adalyn's little head! She was such a good sport!
CANDY!
Huddy checking out his loot!
Matthew & Kaden on candy patrol!
We told Hudsen to just wave at everyone and then they would throw him candy!
Score!
Bubbles!
Hudsen scored a popsicle! Must have been all that waving!

Hi Shana! Isn't it the best to have Monica always taking photos for you? I love it! My favorite is the one with your hand on Caden's back. It's very tender. I love it.

Let's get Monica, you and I together for coffee or something. I could use a break real soon! :)
