Pumpkin Fest

The parade had a large collection of preschools and tractors. I guess there is an ambundance of those things in Zeeland. Who knew! I thought perhaps there would have been more PUMPKINS!
They did throw quite a bit of candy! (although not for Kent, even though he begged for it on hands and knees!!).

Cute kiddos! Notice the straw sunbathers behind them! It's kind of uncomfortable to look at scarecrows in bathing suits. It just seems....poiky.


Did you know that Madonna once called Michigan home?




Look!! A famous "Michigonian"!



I wonder where this bus goes... or maybe the better question is, where does it start?





A couple weeks ago we went up to a "Pumpkin Fest" parade in Zeeland MI. It was nearly as pumkiny as I thought it should be but it was still fabulous to hang out with Leisy, Kent, Zeb and Ike! We were lucky enough to talk them in to coming up to visit for the weekend. Unfortunately, poor Ike had a horrible ear infection (unknown to all of us until Saturday night or Sunday morning early) and had to be taken to the ER in the middle of the night!! Poor baby! We are still so glad they came to hang out with us on that chilly Conference Weekend!

Never heard of that town, but hey, we have Polk...atleast the residents in Michigan probably have teeth. Looks like you guys had fun and the kids look so adorable! This weekend in Ashland had festivities everywhere from apple orchards to art in the park! Just love this time of year!
