Aunt Missy Sissy Lissa and some Pufferbilly!

Over the weekend we had a little visit from Travis' sister, Malisa.  She hasn't been up to Iowa since the year we moved here (2003) - but that's okay because I can't remember the last time we went to her house either.  It was really fun to see her and spend some good quality time with her.  Savannah really had fun too.

Saturday morning we took her to the Pufferbilly Days Parade in Boone.  Travis had his doubts about the parade at first but it really ended up being the best parade we've ever taken Savannah to!  The weather was AWWESome - especially compared to the 20 degrees we sat through at VEISHA and the 102 degrees at the 4th of July Parade.  They had tons of cool floats and soooo much candy and STUFF.  We sat next to this crabby old couple and this lady in a HUGE camping chair.  Really wish I would have taken pictures of either of them.  Dang.  

Here's the loot.  

 SOOO much candy, two twinkies, and cupcake, string cheese (thanks Fareway float!), water, toothbrush, toothpaste and case (from different dentists), frisbee, coosie, dog food and dog treats (different vet clinics), pencils, pens, fruit snacks, and a hat.  Oh - and a bonpop popsicle!

 ** You can kinda see the GIANT chair in the back ground of this picture.  It was SO big! ***

 After the parade Malisa fell asleep in the car.  Savannah was kind of playing with her and kind pretending to sleep too.  Aren't they cute?

We also too Missy, Malisa, Sis (all the same person, and never called by the same name twice in row) to one of our hot spots - the Story City carousel.  Thanks Aunt Missy for the tickets!!

We ended our little weekend with church all morning today, a cook out with our Connection Group (much missed!) and some chores in the afternoon.  The fall season is truly in swing!  In a few months it will be hard to believe how much I missed this crazy schedule!

- What's up for the week ahead???  Plenty of lunches, after school meetings, trying out BSF, Savannah's pre- op appointment, Tubes :( , Escape22, and this weekend - BROOM BALL!
