Saturday was Middleville's Heritage Day celebration. It was bigger than usual this year because Middleville is celebrating 175 years. They had more events downtown and at the local parks than in previous years and the parade was considerably longer too.
Lena's buddy Rebecca spent the night with us the night before and spent the day with us on Saturday. Lena loved having Rebecca around to play with and Rebecca loved playing with Lena. And I loved having the help! It was a win-win-win!
Lena and Rebecca playing at home Friday evening. Lena loved it when Rebecca hung her upside-down.
Peek-a-boo!
Our parade float.
Our church hosted the tractor show again this year.
They were mostly John Deeres, but I saw this one and took a pic for Grandpa Lee.
Hanging out. It was a beautiful day.
Have you ever seen a pastor in full pastor garb sitting on a tractor?
This picture didn't turn out well, but it's of Jim playing "air organ".
Rare evidence of me on the other side of the camera.
Lena's second ride on a parade float. Last year she fell asleep while we were lining up, and slept through the actual parade. She sat on Renee's lap and had fun waving to people and watching the bigger kids throw candy.
I was amazed to see all the people congregated downtown. Wow! I didn't know that many people lived in Middleville! :)
Riding on the tractor with Mr. Mitteer.
Mrs. Mitteer let her "steer" this parked tractor.
Our tent downtown. We sold cold drinks, homemade cupcakes, and church cookbooks. We also had a free craft table where kids could make magnets and necklaces.
We had fun talking with all of the people and eating yummy festival food. The new restaurant in town, The Big Easy, had pulled turkey sandwiches. And of course, we got our once a year elephant ear.
Lena got a bath when we got home and Rebecca offered to comb her hair. It's getting really long!
We really enjoyed Heritage Day this year. It was nice to see so many people out enjoying the festivities. For a small town, Middleville is a fun place to live.
