Thirty Eight Weeks - Frontier Days!

Jim and Brody enjoying a hot dog before the Frontier Days Parade starts.

We headed to my parents for the annual Frontier Days celebration! It was a bit rainy this year, but luckily the rain stopped right before the parade started. Brody was ready to collect some candy!

During the parade Brody decided to show off his dance moves!

Jim decided to try out the 5K race! He decided the morning off to participate, and to his amazement he came in 3rd in his age group and 10th overall! There were a little over 200 racers, so I think that is a great first showing! I think it has him thinking that 5Ks may be the way to go - which would be okay with me because that would require a lot less training :)

Addisen really enjoyed her first Frontier Days Parade - she was AMAZED by the bands! She watched them and clapped along! Must be the musical talent comes from Jim's side of the family!

The landscaping has brought on some of my worst enemies....butterflies! I knew that we were planting a butterfly bush, but I didn't really think this many butterflies would come! This afternoon when we got home there were about 30 yellow butterflies all lined up in front of the bush. Brody ran straight to them with his "gun" and started taking care of business for his mommy! You can barely see them to in the dirt on the left side of the picture - but look closely and you will see those scary little yellow guys!
