the landing

When trying to decide how to spend our 4th of July, we realized two things: 1) Ivar doesn't like parades (loud sirens) and 2) Our kids go to bed at 7. And again, they don't like loud noises.

So my mom made a plan to go to The Landing, the same place we went and learned how to make maple syrup. Today they were Haying, had a parade that we got to be in and most of the houses were open for visits. We brought a picnic and met Mark and baby Isaac, Uncle Don and Mom and Dad for an awesome day.

...That picture in the lower left is a favorite. Uncle Don and Ivar switched hats and Ivar thought it was so silly.
