Parade, Fair, and Rodeo

This year was lots of fun! We were just thankful Marcus didn't have on his cast this year. I told Marcus last year two days before the parade you got your cast on, this year two days before the parade you went bald. Next year lets not do something dramatic two days before the parade! I think he agrees! Olivia was a trooper regardless of what happened to her, but on Friday when we went with friends we left her with nana and papa so she didn't have to be dragged around for four nights. Wednesday after the parade we went out to the fair with nana, papa, and Aunt Molly. We had lots of fun. We went and checked on our photos that my mom and I entered, we both placed! On Thursday we went with Grandpa and Grandma Callister, Uncle Pickle (Nicklaus) and Aunt Nicole- we also had lots of fun. Nicole and I had a dramatic experience, but I won't talk about it again, even though the nightmares are still there! Friday we were able to go play with friends. Marcus and Alec had so much fun with Summer (Reggie and Brittney Anger's) and Ty (Josh and Trisha Judkins). They thought for a minute that they were 15! They would get off one ride and take off running to the next, kind of like they owned the place! The last night we had a Allen family party and after that we went to the Rodeo with nana and papa. Carson started to get allergies and he couldn't stop sneezing so he made it until half way through the national anthem. Marcus' most favorite thing is watching this guy (who is a little heavier set) drive the tractor (before the rodeo starts). As he is driving the tractor he starts dancing and last year he ripped his pants off and had funny shorts on. He couldn't stop talking about it all year, so it was something he looked forward to seeing. This year he ripped is clothes off and had a Superman costume on and started running around. So I can't wait to see what he says during the next year about that one! Good Times!!! Enjoy the photo show!
