Can you say Quasquicentennial?

This is an exciting year to have moved up to Gettysburg. Our town and a lot of the surrounding towns are all celebrating their 125th Anniversaries. And just about every town's celebration includes a parade -- this is convenient for someone who may be running for office because they can get lots of publicity in each town by going through the parade as a floating advertisement :). So we headed to a town north of here for our first of MANY parades this summer. Luckily, we are at the perfect age for this. You see, all the people on the floats and in the cars or on the tractors throw CANDY! Harrison and I just squealed everytime they threw candy and ran around collecting it. We cheered for Daddy when he went by and then got to go play on the moonbounce, pony rides and everything else. Harrison was not at all interested in riding the real ponies, so he just climbed the fence and watched me and then headed to the safety of the miniature carousel. He did however love the moonbounce and all the food vendors! I had my first snow cone and Harrison kept himself entertained with a bag o' donuts... It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun. Good thing we have another one to go to next weekend!

When we got back home we took advantage of the great weather and broke out our new sprinkler. Turns out, Harrison doesn't like that very much either! He was interested in watching the water spray and would bravely reach out and touch a stream of water if Mom or Dad was close by for support, but really really disliked it if he got caught in the water!

We had a really fun day yesterday celebrating Father's Day. We let daddy sleep in and then made him a nice breakfast. Grandma & Grandpa kept us while Mom & Dad went to church which made for a relaxing morning for him...then Grandma cooked us all a yummy lunch. Mom put Dad to work for a little bit in the afternoon painting the office, but Daddy does enjoy such projects so it's not that mean of her. Then they had a steak dinner and watched a movie. No pictures, but it was a great day and we tried really hard to make sure Daddy knows just how much we love having him for a daddy! Happy Father's Day Daddy (and Grandpa & Pops!) You guys are the best ever! We love you!
