We went to the West Fest Parade on Saturday morning to see Jarom march with the band. After the parade, the band played four songs at the park. My favorite was the Indiana Jones theme song. Jarom is getting to be quite the trumpter. After the band was done and Jarom got a snowcone, we went home. It was hot! I felt sorry for the people who had booths and had to stay at the park.
We went back again at about 9:30 pm to watch the fireworks. They started when we were still wandering around trying to find a place to sit. Fortunately, there just happened to be an empty spot on the lawn right where we were, so we sat down and watched the fireworks. We were so close, we had to lay on the grass to see most of the fireworks. I couldn't believe how much smoke there was - Meagan said it looked like a scene from a war movie, with all the smoke. Jarom and Meagan both got hit by ashes in their eyes. I think next year we will sit farther away. The fireworks were pretty, so it was worth it.
Yesterday we went to mom and dad's for Byron's baby blessing. It was nice to see so many people I had not seen in a long time. I didn't realize how long it had been since we went to mom and dad's church until Amber got out of the car and had no idea how to get to the chapel. It was nice seeing Byron and seeing Ray's parents and sister again (and Sondra). Ray has a very nice family - what I've met of them.
Last Sunday we went up to Mueller Park with the whole family, too. I love Mueller Park. It was nice to see that there is actually water in the creek this year.
