We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend. The morning of the 4th Paul ran in a 10 k. When he got home, we decided to pimp Alex's ride for the festivities that day. We attended a parade at MSUM. I was a little worried because Alex hasn't appreciated the emergency vehicles sounding their sirens and horns in the past. He did really well until one of the floats sprayed water on the crowd. It felt great to us but ticked the baby off. After the parade we listened to a band play patriotic music and had hot dogs. This is one of Alex's favorite foods! By about 2:30 he started dozing in his stroller, so we decided it was time to get back. He was out like a light before I even fastened him in his seat.
Saturday we decided Alex needed some cultural diversity. We visited some of the local international stores. Our favorite is the Asian market. We thought about stopping at one called "discount market" but it looked very shady so we continued on. In West Fargo we found the Tropical Food store. It ended up being a Bosnian market....not sure what's so tropical about it but whatever. We did get a chocolate bar there and it was very good.
Last night Grams and Granddad stopped in for the night on their way to Arkansas. Alex always enjoys being a ham for them.

I love the sunglasses! What a cool child you have! And so culturally diverse, too, with all the travels to different stores! That sounds fun...maybe I could convince my hubby to do it sometime......
Oh, that was me by the way...Maria
