::highland fling::

On saturday we got to go with Kris's family to the Highland Fling. It started with a parade. There was a lot of candy thrown from the floats, which the kids loved of course.

They were pretty excited to be at a parade--the big fleet of police motorcycles that came by first thing doing formations and flashing lights and sirens didn't hurt the excitement.

Parker.

Here are the boys waiting for the candy train to come along.

They dumped all their spoils into one bag and we farmed it out to them later. They were really cute.

Then we got to go into the park and listen to Grandpa Ken's band perform on the big stage. It was fun.

Max was way into the music and was dancing like a crazy man. He was so serious about his dance moves. It was hilarious to watch. Still photos don't really capture it, but I tried.

Here he is dancing up at the front. He especially liked Sweet Home Alamaba.

And then to top it all off, some karate studio came along offering free "light sabers". Does it get much better than that? Luckily we got one for each of the three boys, so that helped to stave off any big problems.

It's so fun to see cousins have a blast together. So fun to hang out with everybody!

Oh my gosh, I can completely picture Max dancing in those pictures and being so into it, ha! That must be cool for those boys to have their grandpa up on stage performing!

Whoa. That Max can dance like a storm coming. He's so cool. And he was wearing his shades the whole time and didn't even knock them off when he was dancing. He did take them off, but he put them back on - it was part of the dance. Coolest kid EVER.

Oh funky! That last photo. When I first saw it I thought it was two photos and that you'd photo shopped the light saber going through the both on an angle and then I realized that the split up the center was another light saber.

Gooby eyes playing tricks on me......it isn't noon yet. :D

Hey I thought the same thing as Rachel. That really was deceiving. What fun pictures and it was so fun seeing Max dance. He was hilarious and very serious about it all. It was a fun time.
