Pumpkins and Parades
It was a busy day in the Black house. The morning started out with a parade. Now you need to understand, the Black kids love parades. Well, maybe it's not the parade they love so much - but rather, the loot they get at the parade. In a 20 minute parade today, the boys collected over a pound of candy, 2 footballs, 2 pairs of sunglasses, a mini Rubik's Cube - just to name a few items. Parades in Nearly Canada mean candy and cheap plastic toys... so what kid wouldn't love a parade?
Ezra and Asher are waiting for the parade to begin. And what passes time better for a boy than throwing things? In this case - throwing leaves.
The one thing in a parade that Ezra and Asher do not like, however, are clowns - or anything that might resemble a clown, or even a woman wearing too much make-up. Here you will notice Ezra hiding behind the stroller, and Asher looking rather forlorn. Why? Well, a clown walked past... across the street... nowhere near them. But you can never be too careful with a clown.
I think one reason the boys get so much loot at parades is because Asher waves at every thing that goes past with such jubilant determination. I don't think anyone passed him up as they were giving out candy and toys.
The winning loot of the day at the parade were these sweet shades. Good-bye 2008... hello 1986.
This afternoon we headed out to the pumpkin patch and corn maze with our friends, the Carrolls. There were several tractors (manufactured in 1946 and 1948 - that's for you Grandpa Black) to drive. I think if Asher had the option, he would have spent all his time driving the tractor.
Then there was the corn maze.
The picking of the pun'kins (Asher dialect).
Although Obed was itching to get down the whole time, he spent his time at the Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in the backpack. It was a fun day had by all, spent with good friends.
