*My cousin Jordan and me waiting for the parade to start*
Jordan checking to see if the parade was getting ready to start
Here we are waiting to get started
Almost time......we had a good spot. The floats in the parade throw candy and Jordan made out!
Thierry did good at the parade, well until all the firetrucks came by with their loud sirens and horns that is!
After the parade and after Dwayne was off work we all went to the Cantaloupe festival. To start we all got something to eat. We had Indian tacos (if you've never had one you're missing out!), funnel cake, iced tea and lemonade. It was delicious!
To occupy Thierry, Dwayne would make him an airplane and would fly him over to me for a kiss and then pull him away really quickly. He loved it! He would laugh and laugh.
After walking around and looking at all the different vendors it was time to head over to the carnival. Jordan had been looking forward to riding some rides all day long! You can't see him in the picture above but he and Dwayne are riding the spider ride!
Next it was time for the Berry-Go-Round. Even I got in on this one!
Next came the swinger. My brother Steven was with us and he rode this one too!
There they go!
Later it was time to sit back and relax. We played a little with Thierry (& Halo) and some "toys."
Can you tell he was having fun with his uncle?
I went off to the bedroom to do some reading for my class the next morning and Dad and Dwayne played some Wii bowling.
Dwayne taking his turn.
Day 7 was a "rush" of a day. Just kidding. I went to class for the first part while Dwayne and his dad did the final touches to the yard. After class, Dwayne's family, my sister, my mom and us all went to Reno to do some more shopping and to stop at the Ultimate Rush.
A couple of years ago Dwayne and I gave Mellie a coupon of sorts, an IOU if you will, for a ride on the Ultimate Rush for her birthday present. Since Diana was here visiting she wanted to go too and it made it so they had three people.
Off they went and started to get ready.
They guys helped them get suited up
Almost ready to fly.....
Loading up on the platform
The rest of us just hung back and watched the crazy ones get pulled into the sky. Here is my mom and the baby watching.
There they go, almost to the top.
They got to the top and after what seemed like no hesitation at all, they came flying down!
Screaming along!
Having a little fun with it
Goofing around while they continue to swing back and forth
The normal ones watching and waiting while the crazies went a second time!
After they were all finished we headed over to the mall to do a little shopping and work up an appetite for dinner! Thierry rode around on uncle Dwayne's shoulders. That's pretty high up there!
When we were all hungry we had dinner at Applebee's. Thierry sure likes his desserts!
The next morning it was time for the family to pack up and get ready to head back home.
I spent the morning getting my last few hours of play with my nephew. He was content while everyone got ready to go.
Thierry and aunt Tiffy
Hard to believe next time we see everyone he will be walking! Until next time.....
