Living in Pullman brings all kinds of wonderful opportunities... including the annual Lentil Festival! We had a great time this weekend celebrating the lovely lentil. On Friday night we headed out to the street fair where we enjoyed all kinds of freebies, the kids played silly games and attacked the inflatable obstacle course. We ran into lots of people we know and haven't seen all summer and just enjoyed time together.
This morning Aaron went fishing with my Dad and my sister's husband, so I took the kids to the parade. We met up with some fabulous friends, Eli's godparents, and enjoyed all the things the parade had to offer. Antique tractors, rodeo queens, high school royalty, politicians, dancers, marching bands, WSU athletes and of course... LOTS OF CANDY! I was so proud of my kids as they bubbled up with excitement and cheered for our soldiers as they marched past. My cousin Bryan is serving in Afghanistan right now and we pray for him everyday. It is always a great deal of excitement for the kids to see one of our service men or women! Eli enjoyed it all and found much delight in eating smarties. He was, however, not delighted to see the clown. He wanted nothing to do with that strange creature.
And now our lentil celebrating is done. Tomorrow we will head to church and then up north for a church picnic in the mountains. We are looking forward to that. I'm guessing we will be exhausted at the end of the day, but it will be a good tired I hope. Then Monday we really start focusing on school with Isaac's Kindergarten Open House that evening. He's getting pretty excited about it!
