Charlie's First Maple Leaf Parade

We packed up the car and headed home to Carthage this weekend for the annual Maple Leaf Festival. This was Charlie's first and it couldn't be a prettier weekend for all the festivities. We had a great time. Friday night we hung out at home and Charlie dusted off some of the twin's and I's old toys. He loved the whistle the most of course.





Saturday morning he slept until 9:00 a.m. so it was a struggle to get him bathed, fed and dressed before parade time but we made it. He loved the bands, bobbed his head and kicked his feet to each one as they passed. He was such a trooper (the Gerber puffs helped) and payed attention to most of the parade. He met lots of new Carthage friends as well.
