Last weekend, we headed up to Caribou for a quick visit. On the way, we discovered that Kaitlyn is a true New England girl… She LOVES the song Sweet Caroline. She was dancing to it so vigorously that her head was bouncing off the sides of the car seat! She also claps and cheers at the beginning and end of the song.
While we were up north, they were celebrating the Potato Blossom Festival. As a “city” girl, I will admit that before Kevin, I knew nothing about potatoes other than you buy them at the grocery store and they are really good mashed! In case anyone else out there is as ignorant as I am, when potatoes are ripe, the plant actually has little white flowers on it that bloom…
Saturday morning, we headed over to Fort Fairfield for the parade. They also had some craft booths and food booths. We had some really yummy red hot dogs and I managed to resist the Elephant Ears (Note to our Southern readers: hot dogs do come in a bright red variety, not just the brown “Ballpark” type that we are used to…) (Note to our Northern readers: Elephant Ears are what you people refer to as “fried dough”). Anyway, here’s a couple of parade pictures…
Kaitlyn is literally running in circles around Kevin while waiting for the parade to start…
An out-of-energy (for the moment anyway) Kaitlyn waiting for the parade with me…
How many times can you say you’ve seen a couple of beauty queens sitting on a pile of potatoes?…
And of course, since this is the Potato Blossom Festival there has to be farm equipment! Let me just point out that the tires on this thing were taller than me!
After lunch, we headed back to the hotel and took Kaitlyn swimming in a pool for the first time. Let’s just say we have a real water baby on our hands…
Then we went out to dinner and for ice cream with Grampy, Grammy, and Aunt Cassandra. And Aunt Cassandra visited in our hotel room right before bed…
Sunday, we went back in the pool…
which tired Kaitlyn out…
Then we visited with family some more…
Kaitlyn mooched some apple sauce off Grampy at lunch….
We visited with Great Grammy…
And had lots of fun playing with her toys…
Finally, we said goodbye to Grammy at work…
