Tyler and I went to Pierogi Fest to eat and watch the parade. All the questions on the LONG walk from the car, "Mom, do they have rides?" No, Tyler they do not. A small white lie, that I hoped he wouldn't figure out, but like his Dad, you can't get anything past him! Mom, do they have a pool?" No Tyler it't not a water park. Mom, do they have a parade? Yes Tyler, but it's a silly one. We got very lucky and my Aunt Mary and cousin, Sharon already had a good parade watching spot which they so graciously shared with us. If you've ever been to Pierogi Fest you know the crowds, and how thankful we were to actually be able to sit! It was just as weird and wacky as it always is, with a few more parade entries than I've seen before. We even had the Chicago Blackhawks Zamboni with the mascot riding on it! NEAT. Tyler got a high five from Mr. Pierogi himself!! I love going to Whiting, it's a small town, where everyone knows everyone! I always think of it as the "Girls Show" girls dressing up for other girls!!! You know it's true. Guys could care less, they are only thinking of how to get us out of them. It has changed alot over the years, but still fosters that small town feel. Photos are taken with IPhone, don't judge LOL. No way I was carrying around 30lbs of camera gear with a 4 yr old in that crowd.. Oh and by the way Tyler did get to ride one of the rides! He was really good up at the fest, and I made sure to tell him that and how proud I was of him. I'm sure one of his favorite parts was getting to ride on Tommy's motorcycle. Such a long walk to the car and one tired little boy, when they offered to give us a ride of course I took them up on it. I must admit this woman was happy to get a ride too! Thanks Jimmy! Had I known, would I have still worn a dress? Hmmmmm.... (scratching head?)
