The weekend of the Fair, we went to the annual Hometown Parade. As a kid, I rarely ever remember missing the parade and I really just loved to go for the candy. I thought for sure Liam would have a blast, and I think he would have, if it wasn't for an unfortunate incident at the very beginning of the parade. The firetrucks throw candy and they sort of lead the parade. Well, Liam went out to get candy and the back of the firetruck opened a flap and let out a huge blast of water, right next to where Liam was standing. It was pretty funny, but not to Liam, and I can't really blame him. So he spent the rest of the parade back in the shade on Titi's lap afraid of everything. Izzy, however, was fearless, and went and got him candy. What a nice cousin!
This first picture is before the water incident, when getting candy was still fun.
Nana teaching Izzy how to run out and get candy. :)
Toward the end of the parade, there are all the loud derby cars. Izzy decided that she wanted to be scared like Liam for a few minutes, so this is how they spent that portion of the parade. Pretty funny. Poor Titi. :)
The night before my mom and sister had been at the fair and seen some baby alpacas. The lady gave us directions to their alpaca farm and told us we could go out and see all their baby alpacas. We thought it would be fun so we took the kids out there. Technically, it really could have been considered a parade of alpacas. There were a lot!Here's the baby pen. They still had a huge fenced in area with dozens of grown alpacas, but we went in to see the babies and mommies.
This little fella walked right up to Liam and got close enough to lick his face if she would have wanted to. He thought she was really cute.
Aren't they the funniest looking things? They are actually really quite cute. We got a brief history of alpacas and how they are descendents of camels. You can really tell in this picture. I also got to give Liam a little lesson on how babies drink milk from their mommies.
This little gal was sooo cute. I just love her coloring.
Izzy was a little scared of them, but by the end she was saying "ALL-PACA!" She even got up the nerve to pet one.
Liam said, "Ohhh they are soft!"
When we drove from the farm, Izzy yelled, "Bye, Alpacas!"
