Wooden Shoes, A Band of Badgers, and 7x2


Each year at the very end of July, a special and unique festival in held in a community near ours.  The town has a very rich Dutch heritage and celebrates with a huge parade featuring many people dancing in wooden shoes.  It was very interesting for us to watch and we really enjoyed the parade.  We were able to go with Charissa and her kids which made the whole day more exciting!  The kids were thrilled to have candy and time together.


When best buddies are 10 months apart it is pretty important to get pictures of them during the six weeks that they are the same age!   They have no idea the sweetness their friendship has been since they were babies!  I am so thankful they have each other!
M: We are BOTH SEVEN!

Dancing down the street!

The kids were impressed!

After the parade an area marching band did a 5th Quarter show.  We had GREAT seats and the kids were able to get in on the action.  They LOVED it!!!

Front row seats!

T loved this girl who looked like her... and I am pretty sure the feeling was mutual!

They other kids were standing in a circle, but T had other plans.

She confidently walked to a circle of band members
and went right into the middle of their circle. 

This was celebrated by all!
T: I even got a hug at the end!
