High tea - Part 2

 

Here we all are at the Windsor Arms. 

From left to right and youngest to oldest - Ayla, Eric, (me), Maili and Mark. The only one missing is my eldest daughter, Laila. Peeking just behind Ayla, on the couch in red, is her youngest son, 4 month old Phinneaus.

Ayla with Phinneaus, all dressed up for the occasion.

My special birthday treat. I'm really not a fan of chocolate.

It was a lovely day with dinner later in the day and on Saturday I get to go to the theatre to see Singing in the Rain.

Celebrations

Here are a few of the parade shots from yesterday. I forgot I had my camera so I didn't take a photo of the pipe bands.

These motorcycle officers were doing figure eights on the street. Since we were sitting on the curb, close to a turn in the parade route, we missed some of the fancy moves.

The scouts are always in the parade. This is actually a scouting drum corps.

I love these cars and it looks like these Shriners do too.

I guess they practice their moves - or else they do a lot of parades.

Roller derby girls called the Derby Debutantes.

I wonder how this is powered.

You could tell when this float gets close. They crank up the country music nice and loud.

Hard to play a banjo when you don't have all the strings.

They always seem to have fun.

This is what the float was towing. 

There wasn't much more - at least not exciting enough to take a photo of.

This little girl, my baby,


Ayla,



is celebrating her 30th birthday today.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
