Prime Beef Festival

This week is the Prime Beef Festival in Monmouth.  I love the Prime Beef Festival and this year I was excited to take Parker to his 1st ever Prime Beef Festival parade.
He loved all the music.  There are many bands, bagpipes, singing church groups, and a calliope that comes through the parade.  He danced to almost all of them.
Hmmmm....what's this?  Do I like it?  What do you do with it?
Parker LOVED the treasures he got from the parade.  It kept him entertained though the political floats, cars, and passer bys. 
We sat with Grandma Vancil and part of the Johnson family.  I used to babysit the Johnson girls when I was in High School, they were in our wedding and now they have 2 boys in addition to the girls and the girls are going to be babysitters for Parker if our schedules ever match up.   This is Camden...he is the spitting image of his older brother Austin.  Parker and Camden had a great time together.
In honor of the Prime BEEF festival, Parker had Beef for dinner at the parade. 

Mom and I went out to the fair so I could eat at the Lutheran tent....
Beat the crowds...
Visited with Monmouth ites we saw...
waited in line....
got all the way to the front of the line (1/2 hour past Parker's bedtime)
and....
Parker started to completely MELT down.
so..........
I got 0 cheeseburgers, 0 cherry pie, 0 fair food :(
I did however enjoy a Hot Pocket once we got home.
maybe next year....
