Nice Weekend - Parades, Art, Dogs & Demolition!

Finally! Nice weather on the weekend so Jeff could enjoy getting out too. Good timing because Sunday was the annual Birmingham Town Parade which concluded with a basset hound parade complete with >400 bassett hounds from around the country! Iris' highlights were having her first lollipop which she talked about all day and seeing Curious George in the parade. Then we hit the art fair before heading home.

First Lollipop. Bit it and it fell on the ground, luckily we had one more which she got the hang of licking until she got down to the stick:

Basset hounds dressed up even down to their toes and on parade:

You get the idea, lots of embarrasing costumes on very short dogs:

A rare event - sleeping in the stroller after the art fair:
