Pancakes and Parades

A few weekends ago we took Kenzie back to my hometown for the pinnacle of Springtime festiveness...The WNY Maple Festival.  This was that festival that every kid in town (me included) saved their pennies for to stuff their faces with fudge, sandart in their pockets, and cover their melons with paintings of unicorns and rainbows.
Sadly the Maple Fest isn't as whimsical as I once remember.  But to show some hometime pride, we took the drive down Saturday, to take in the sights and sounds of the fest!


We took full advantage of the All You Can Eat Pancake Breakfast.  This baby girl was still considered free (or maybe she wasn't and that everyone remembers you, small hometown perks kicked in), but she still got her "money's worth."

Up next....We hit the parade route to get a nice peek of the horses and fire trucks...and thats about it.  After getting pelted with candy from those darling Boy Scouts we decided she was safer in Daddy's arms.  She did okay until those ever obnoxious fire trucks sounded their sirens and blasted their horns. But luckily the caboose of the parade...the horses, cheered her up!

Until next time Maple Fest....stay cool!
