Founders day festival

We have really been enjoying the summer months up here in Michigan.  It still has been getting pretty hot and humid, not much different than what we were used to but every few days we seem to get a break with a beautiful 70 degree day.  There is also so much to do around here. This weekend was the Farmington Founders day festival.  Since Chase has a new found love for parades we headed out Saturday morning to catch the parade. 

Since Farmington is only a few miles down the road from us, I thought it would be a good idea to load the kids in the stroller from the house and walk. Luckily for me Kevin had the foresight to drive a little further before we started a walk because it was HOT. 

The parade had the usual suspects. 

And some unusual ones...

The kids really enjoyed watching the parade.

This was the LONGEST parade I think I have ever been to. So with a little left to go in the parade we decided to bail and check out all the tents set up at the festival.  With the kids we strolled though pretty fast with a brief stop at the farmers market (YUMMY).  We found a BBQ tent for lunch and some shade to sit under to enjoy it and then started our stroll back to the car.  It was a fun morning and we will be looking forward to more festivals in our future.
