Dodgeville Days

The weekend of July 9th was the annual Dodgeville days as we call it, also known as Farmer Appreciation Days. Its the big town fest with a parade, rides, fireworks, etc. My friend Maria was up visiting from St. Louis, so we met up with her and Elena and Bryan, which is always a fun time! It was a busy weekend, and Leyton had a blast with all of the activities going on. Here are a few photos from the weekend. Thanks for coming to visit guys!

Saturday we hung out at our House for a bit and then headed to dinner at a really good Mexican restaurant in Dodgeville, Las Brisas. Then it was on to fireworks at Harris Park. Elena was nice enough to stay back with Cal while the rest of us went and watched.Sunday was the parade and rides. It was so hot!!! Leyton begged to go on the smaller version of the rock-o planes... Eric was super excited to squeeze in there with him too :)Cal and I waited in the shade while Leyton did the bouncy house, again...Ready for the parade!This was definitely Leyton's kind of parade... Tons of big machinery and trucks, and suckers being handed to him! He wanted me to take pictures of everything. Every time a cool big anything would come he'd yell "take a picture mom!". Here are a few of his favorites:The freezey pops they were giving out were much appreciated with the heat!Maria made sure Leyton got some Culver's they were handing out too! Also at the parade we ran into my former coworker and friend Ashley and her family. She had a baby a couple months before Cal was born, and has since moved to St. Louis to work at the same company Maria works at. It was great to see you guys! And, my friend Robin and her famly were also sitting near us, which was a fun suprise! Robin reitred from LE in March, and I miss her so much!
