LaGrange Pet Parade

Last weekend while Jordan was up north with some of his high

school friends, Owen and I went to Batavia for the weekend.  We

went to the LaGrange Pet Parade with Papa and Aunt Melissa.

This year was the 65th pet parade.  My dad's side of the family

has been going since the 1st pet parade!  As a child, I loved going to see all 

the families dress up their pets and show them off.  It has turned

into quite a parade since I was there last.  Although the parade

was 3 hours long, we only lasted about 1 1/2 in the heat but 

we had fun!

Up close and personal with the firetrucks

To top it all off we were right next to 

the train tracks!  We must have seen 6 

trains while watching the parade.

Enjoying one of my favorites as a kid -

the seven 11 slurpee!

I don't know what it is about this picture, but

I see such a grown little boy here.....
