Firemen's Parade

After being in Rochester for a year we are starting to figure this place out! We now know that you skip the Webster Memorial Day parade, but the Webster Firemen's Parade is a must see!

While the name sounds "country" the parade was anything but! We saw firetrucks, marching bands, clowns, shriners in mini cars, big bicycles and more! Brady even got to shake the hands of several firefighters. (Dream come true!) This will definitely become an annual event for us.

I love this picture because it captures Brady's excitement!


Here is how Ainsley likes to watch a parade (with an Oreo in each hand).

Helen's 1st Birthday and Grampa's 62nd!

While at Conesus we were able to celebrate Helen's first birthday and Grampa's 62nd birthday! Needless to say there was LOTS of cake, presents and cheer!

Check out Grampa's new red wagon!

Conesus Family Vacation

The week of July 4th, we headed to Conesus Lake (Finger Lake) for a Heimerman family vacation. Despite the fact that we were couped up with family and four kids under 3 years old, we had a GREAT time! ;) Someone said it best when they said "We had a lot of fun, but there was little relaxing." So now Jeff and I are looking to plan a getaway for just the two of us to rest up!

Here are some moments we captured! (You may have to squint to see the fish Henry & Brady caught!)

July 4th!

On July 4th we headed to the Perinton parade! While it was one of the oddest parades Jeff and I have ever attended (there were 15 minutes of politicians and a 'health care for all' rally in the parade), it packed a lot of punch for the kids! They both sat still for the hour long parade, glued to their chairs. While huddled under a blanket because it was COLD, we did see the most firetrucks ever, some bands and the grand finale of John Deere tractors!

Oh Me Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!

Brady recently took his parents to see the show "Walking with Dinosaurs". (Grandma Maria watched Ainsley so she wouldn't get scared.) We started out our night with a trip to Dinosaur Barbeque! Apparently everyone else had the same idea because it was packed, so Brady got to sit with us at the bar. We were glad to see he was a bit wary of the bar crowd.

After dinner, we headed over to the arena to watch the dinosaur show! It was a cool show with really big and loud dinosaurs. Brady's favorite dinos were the Bracchiosauruses because there were two of them, and they were friends. A great time was had by all!

Summertime fun

Summer has officially started, and we celebrated with some sprinkler action and a picnic in the backyard! Bring on the sunshine and fun summer days!
