Richmondville Day

Saturday was Richmondville Day, and I wanted to go bad enough that we skipped T-ball (so bad!!). Since Xander is marching in the Flag Day parade this coming weekend, I thought he'd like a chance to watch a parade and collect up some candy. He filled up his little backpack with candy and squishy baseballs!

After the parade we headed up through town to see what else was going on. It didn't take long to get separated, since Jean and Grandma Harrington were visiting lawn sales, Mike was talking to every person he passed, and Joe kept running into old friends. Xander bought some cotton candy, hit the bounce house, and then we wandered trying to hook up with the trolley.

When we finally did get on the trolley, we took a historic tour of Richmondville, which was actually pretty depressing. Everything over there is pretty much falling down. And Xander got bored. When it was finished we headed back to Jean and Mike's. Just like his grandma, Xander had to stop at a lawn sale and buy a toy castle that he saw.

Xander stayed overnight with Jean and Mike, and went with them Saturday night to see fireworks at the school. The coolest part of the day, though, was that Grandma Harrington surprised us with a visit (with help from Uncle Paul) and we were able to get a four-generation photo!

Looks like a good time was had by all. Can't believe how tall Xander is getting. Oh, about that motorcycle - three words - life insurance policy. Big one. Love ya, M.
