Pine City Parade 2014

Every year, the first weekend in August, Pine City has their Pine County Fair.
Kari and family are always in town so it's turned into a must do each summer.
Since we only have so many weekends at the lake, we need to get out and enjoy the weather as much as we can.  We got the kids out to the lake today to do some swimming.


 

I love looking out to the water and seeing the kids out on the dock.  Usually they are collecting rocks, washing them, and then setting them on the dock to dry out. 


Our mom hasn't been to the cabin much this summer. So we have had to take over to fill the voids that she has left in our plans.  Parade-eve and parade-day someone had to think about setting out our chairs for the parade and claiming our spot.  Kari and I went out last night and set some chairs out (minus the rope and 'The Millers' sign).  Mom ended up coming to the lake today and joining us for the parade.
As usual it was hot.  Really hot and the kids couldn't wait until the freezies were handed out by the parade walkers. 


Hailey- LOL, this kid can not keep her shoes on.  She prefers bare feet. All the time.


This is the first year that the girls are tall enough to go on rides without me.  Hailey usually isn't tall enough so I have had to go on the slide with her.  She is now tall enough and Hannah assured me that she'd watch her and take care of her.  I stood and watched them walk up all of those stairs to the top of the slide.  Oh my gosh- that is a LOT of stairs :-(  If she falls I will never ever forgive myself (please don't fall!)


They made it!  NO one fell and everyone ended up at the bottom with huge smiles.
The girls got to go on a few more rides, we ate cheese curds, mini donuts and pork chops and then headed back for the night.  Another Pine County Fair in the books- see ya next year.
