Fun Days

Last weekend was fun days in Wheeler Park.  Amelia thought it was great to people watch and the loud music at night fortunately didn't keep her up.

Friday night we sat on our boulevard and watched the kiddie parade.  It was a great introduction to parades for her.  She loved watching all of the kids walking by and I would wave her hand so they would wave at her.  She thought that was great to get some attention!

After watching the parade we went to set out our chairs for the big parade and then met Josh & Jennifer at the park so we could see all of their kids.  At this point I think poor Amelia was getting over stimulated with all of the people and rides.  She tried to shut her eyes and sleep on our 1 block walk home but I wouldn't let her.  I didn't want her to think 5 minutes was better than going to bed for the night.  

On Saturday my mom, grandma, Kallie, and Hilary came over to watch the big parade.  She enjoyed this one until it was nap time.  I wore the Moby so she could get some sleep.  Honking trucks kept waking her and she was happy to get home and nap in her crib.  Here she is with her godmother. 

After the parade everyone came over for lunch.  Then Hilary and I went to see a movie while Kallie babysat Amelia.  There wasn't much babysitting to be done though as Amelia ending up sleeping all but about 20 minutes of when we were gone.  I think they both enjoyed those 20 minutes to the fullest.
