Happy Labor Day!!

We had a very special labor day this year, as a family we went to our first parade. It was the Chapin Labor Day festival and the theme was "Let Freedom Ring". So of course i had to dress the kids in matching red, white, and blue outfits courtesy of grandma!! :) As you can see here...



I know they are my kids, but damn they are cute!! :) So we had so much fun. The festival was in this cute little country town called chapin. Everyone was friendly and happy to be there. I think everyone thought we had twins because they were in the double stroller, so we might as well of been in the parade because we got a lot of attention. One of the highlights of the parade was when the VFW motorcycles came by and Frankie was waving at one of the guys and he must of thought Frankie was so cute, because he jumped off his bike while the parade was still going just to give him a high five.... here is Frankie waving at him...

and here he is getting back on his motorcycle after giving Frankie a high five, lol


Frankie was so surprised, i think he was in shock after that!! Also the kids loved the people throwing candy off the floats. I told them in order to get the candy they had to wave and say hi to them, so after i told them that they were waving like crazy....

And here they are ready to pick up their candy that the lady on the float just threw for them....

If i had to pick Nathan's favorite part it would of either been the marching band...

OR... eating his lollipop that his generous big sister and brother shared with him after collecting all their candy... as you can see in this picture with daddy..

We only have a few more weeks left in SC, so we are enjoying the many activities they have and creating lasting memories. We move around so much and i think it is important that we make the places we live in memorable and like a home. Happy Labor Day to all and i hope you enjoyed the long weekend. We certainly loved having daddy home with us! :)
