Saturday morning I talked Mark into getting up and going to the Nastia Luikin "Welcome Home" parade. The parade was in her hometown of Parker, which is about a mile up the road from us. We parked at Southfork Ranch(from the show Dallas) and walked about 1/2 mile to the road where the parade would be. It had a very small town feel. Everyone was in lawn chairs and even the high school band showed up! There were a ton of people in the parade who had no sign to tell us who they were. We kept making jokes with our surrounding bystanders about this. Of course, Nastia wasn't until the very end of the parade. We were there for about a total of 2 hours and I thought it was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. I want to say a big thank you to Mark for tagging along and providing wonderful company!

Nothing says Welcome Home like a front loader

NASTIA!!!On Sunday we made a day trip to Possum Kingdom Lake to a family reunion for my dad's side of the family. It was great to see family we hadn't seen in a long time. It was also nice to see my parents, sister, niece, and nephew. I got to spend two hours holding this sleeping beauty! There is nothing like holding a sleeping baby, even if that baby is almost 2 years old!

I agree about the sleeping baby! And, I wish I could have seen Nastia! Cool! Front loaders are very nostalgic!
