Firemen's parade
On Saturday our local fire department hosted the 90th annual Lancaster County Firemen's parade. The parade is held in a different region each year - too bad! It was a ton of fun, we'd love for it to be in our backyard every year!
The procession actually went past our house, but we opted to go up to Main Street to watch the "official" parade route.
the colorguard always gives me goosebumps

Ducks 1, Barnstormers 0
Friday night we met up with Grams, Pops, and Aunt Chris to take in a Barnstormers game.
The 'Stormers lost, but we had a great time. Andrew - who insists on being in bed by 8pm - managed to stay awake the whole time, not going to sleep until we got home around 11pm!

It's almost summer - one week left of school! Our calendar is already (!) starting to look full, including upcoming trips to the mountains and to the beach. We learned from our recent trip to Baltimore that Andrew won't sleep in a Pack -n- Play, so I started searching for alternatives. Crib rentals are way too expensive, and fold-away cribs don't get very high marks for durability. Then I stumbled upon this item - the Room to Grow inflatable Play Yard. I had to give it a try!
It arrived earlier this week, and the kids have been playing nonstop with it. Their favorite use is to turn it on it's side and use it like a hamster wheel. We'll get to test it out for it's intended purpose later this month, keeping my fingers crossed that Andrew will still love it by then!
*check out my review of the product on the Amazon page :)
Edit: wow, the price has gone up $40 since last week.
you don't think it was because of my glowing review, do you? ;)
Evyn's teacher arranged a surprise ice cream party for the kids last week (isn't she great?!). A bunch of us parents sneaked in the classroom while the kids were at recess and set everything up. Fun, fun!
Now that we aren't sick anymore, Andrew and I have been trying to make up for lost time by going on more bike rides. He LOVES the bike trailer.... unfortunately he hates wearing the helmet. As long as we're in motion, though, he's usually OK.
