Old Settler's

Last Friday night we went to Columbia City for the big fair and parade. We always meet Brad's family down there to watch the parade, and run into my family too. We also run into a lot of old friends that we don't usually see throughout the year. It was a perfect night for it. This is the first year Ella can really start to enjoy things like this, and she had a blast! It helped that her cousins were there with her, who love to keep her entertained. :) Her favorite thing seemed to be the horses, which was no surprise. Here she is peeking over everyone to get a good look at them. We were seated right across the street from the merry-go-round, so she got to see the "horsies" all evening. We were going to take her on a ride, but had forgotten about it until she had gotten too tired to really enjoy it anymore. She also somehow got 1 sucker and carried it around with her the whole night. She had no idea it was candy (Thank God) and was happy just to hold it.
I also ran into a bunch of people that I honestly hadn't seen since we graduated, so it was really nice to spend some time with them and show off our kids! :) It was a great evening. After that, home to bed and off to Michigan in the AM, but that's for the next post....
