We had a pretty packed weekend this weekend. One of the fun things we did was help out my cousin's wife's dad in the Adolphus Children's Parade in downtown Dallas. He is in the parade balloon business and needed help guiding the ballons. I LOVE parades so I was glad to be able to help. It was pretty tiring, but it was SO much fun!
We were in charge of the jingle bell balloons.
The most entertaining part of the morning was that Darth Vader was in the parade along with all of his storm troopers, Princess Leia, r2d2 (i think), and the rest of the crew. The crowd went wild anytime Darth passed by.
After the parade was over, we helped deflate the balloons and pack them away. This is us trying to get all the air out of Thomas the Train.
I also spend a lot of time doing yard work this weekend. I worked on raking leaves all three days of the weekend. We ended up with seven and a half bags of leaves. The sad part is, only one of our trees even looks remotely empty so I see a lot of raking in our future. After all the leaves were up Travis mowed the yard for the first time! It was actually pretty fun for both of us.

I was beginning to wonder when you were going to start blogging again. The green tomato pie sounds –hmmm – interesting. I wouldn’t have believed it’d be good either. :)
And the parade balloons are awesome!!
