Summer's End Festival on Saturday

My "best" attempt to get a picture of Daddy and Cara in their matching band shirts
Self portrait of us waiting for the parade to start

After the parade Daddy was in a brass quintet on the main street entertaining festival fans


After we enjoyed a yummy lunch we stopped for some ice cream which was perfect on this HOT afternoon, here is Cara enjoying hers

Now here is Cara's shirt displaying the drips :)
All week the threat of rain loomed for Saturday, but I think it may have been welcome by the afternoon (once the parade was over) to cool things off. Cara and I enjoyed watching Daddy and his band in the parade, playing a great Beach Boys tune. Cara especially liked that nearly every float threw candy at us, even the Frito Lay company threw bags of chips! Some smarties, tootsie rolls, and a sucker made the parade that much sweeter. Then we sat and listened to the Brass Quintet play some great tunes along main street. All this music stirred up our appetite for a yummy "fair food" lunch including lemon shake-ups and ribbon fries. A little ice cream to cool off before we walked back to the car was a prefect idea. It was no surprise that Cara slept the whole drive home and then 2 more hours once we got home.
