Buffalo Bill Days! {Aug. 2}

We had a fabulous weekend in Lanesboro for Buffalo Bill Days. Thanks so much for having us all over, Mom and Dad! You are great hosts!

Mandy started the weekend off right:
There was lots of bean bag tossing. Jeff and Dad even joined a tournament downtown.
Mandy and her sweet baby Anna:
Amelia at the park on Saturday:
Amelia and Nick at the park:
Mira and Abby enjoyed the petting zoo:
The men, just lounging around:
We had a birthday party for Abby. Happy 6th birthday, Abby!
We brought our bounce house for the kids. It tired them out and kept them busy for a long while!
Aunt Bonnie came to visit. It was great to see you, Bonnie!
We made s'mores on Saturday night. Then at 10:00, we pulled all our lawn chairs across the road and had a wonderful view of the fireworks! It was a great evening.
And the parade was on Sunday. We had great seats on the first block of the route. Why is Dad in the parade? He's one of the Grand Marshall's (retired firemen)! (And we got extra candy, of course!)

We had a wonderful weekend. We hope next year, Kelly, Duey, Chesney, and Logan can join us. It's been way too long since we've all been together!

It was fun joining all of you for a short visit on Saturday. We should have come to the parade on Sunday too, had we known ahead that Bob was one of the Grand-Marshall's ! Your families always have a good time. Thanks for sharing all these pictures...The kids are all so cute and enjoying life, for sure!
Love, Bonnie
