Jadon

So this post is all about Jadon. I will write more about the events of this weekend later, but this I had to get down right away!

We went to the Tulip Festival parade today, and both kids have been extremely excited about it - but today, Jadon took the cake. He couldn't stop talking! And he came up with really funny stuff. Unfortunately, we got a ton of pictures of our family and very few of the things he was talking about - so I'll try to fill in the blanks as best I can...

About a red bird riding in the back of a car waving (and every other human-sized animal)... "Mom, that's really just a people right? It won't come eat me?"


About the pooper-scooper people following the horses... "Op, looks like those guys are for picking up the horse dirt!"
"What are those guys doing, Jadon?"
"They are picking up the horse dirt after the horse drops it on the street, so no one steps on it. That would be yucky to step on horse dirt."


About the marching bands... "I like this music, it shakes me!" "Daddy plays those!" (pointing to the drums)


About the Vets & Marines... "Those are solder guys with real American guns! Right? Are those guns real? Are those real solder guys? That's the flag!"


Just about every car that passed had a name according to Jadon's favorite movie, "Cars" and we'd hear over and over again - "Look! It's Ramone" "Look, it's the old car from Bah-Queen!" "Look! It's Sally!" (most of them were Ramone or the old car... and few names neither of us recognized:o). Trucks, floats and the fire engine were no exception - it was so much fun to watch this exuberant kid!!
