We returned yesterday from a lovely time in our hometown, Winchester VA. Every May our town has an "Apple Blossom Festival". Our family enjoys going and taking in the 10k race and the 2 parades; a fireman's parade on Friday evening and the Grand Feature Parade on Saturday. Here are some pictures:
Watching the Firemen's Parade which involved dozens of firetrucks and marching bands. Sadie sat like this for the first half hour, just staring at all the sites. Next to her are cousin Payton, cousin Nolan, aunt Jenelle (can't see her), Grammy Sauder and Pappy Sauder.
Grammy and Sadie, snuggling during the parade.
Daddy and Sadie sharing a fun moment
Noelle and her cousins, Kalysta and Payton
Brad and Janelle taking advantage of the wisteria backdrop in mom & dad Sauder's yard.
Brad and his dad (in yellow) running the 10k Saturday morning. I'm in the pink tank top with the long lean thighs (Ha, Ha, I crack myself up). Actually you'd have better luck finding me at the Funnel Cake stand in the background.
Sadie, watching the race
David, Ken and Brad Spence after the race, sporting their cool shirts sponsored by David (a Realtor) and a few friends.
Noelle and Grandma Spence enjoying the Grand Feature Parade on Saturday. This parade we enjoyed in the yard of some Spence friends, complete with a food buffet.
After all of our festivities, Grandpa Spence thought Sadie looked a little hungry. He dished her up a man-sized steak which she dove into without a blink...we took it away after the photo op.
