Pictures from the Weekend

Now that I'm back where there's high speed internet, I'll give you a little taste of what the kids were able to enjoy over the weekend in Mason City.

Saturday morning was the annual North Iowa Band Festival Parade, and the kids loved it! It was 2 1/2 hours long, but the candy, the floats, there was even stuffed animals that were given away! It was cold, but we all managed to stay warm.
One of the floats was made by a local company called, "Curries" that manufactures steel doors for commercial use. This is their float that is Shrek themed. That dragon is actually coming out of its castle!...Here's Johnny! Yes, that is Johnny Orr. For you kids out there, he was the greatest basketball coach Iowa State University has ever had.
The kids discovered a merry-go-round and had tons of fun. Only old parks have these anymore.
I took these four to the Ice Cream Social at the Music Man Square. This is a museum dedicated to Meredith Wilson, the writer of "The Music Man." We watched a portion of the movie while we ate delicious ("better than Whitey's" according to Moriah) ice cream.

Haley, Guthrie, Brooke and Moriah pose in front of Meredith Wilson.

The weekend included a LOT of pick-up soccer with the next door neighbors. The kids really had fun!
