Apple Blossom!!

Apple Blossom always begins with the Pancake Breakfast (actually, it always begins with DeA stressing to get down to the fun run, but I don't have pics of that) and this year Nama joined us.

They did not put blueberries in the sourdough pancakes, so it was already a better year than last.

Ryker and DeA both ran the fun run. I following on the golf scooter to make sure that they were doing well. 

Ryker enjoyed the encouragement

DeA did not and told me to "get away" and "leave me alone" and "I hope you crash".

Ryker was hungry after his run, so we got back in line for the pancakes. We got to see Nama and Hampa in the kitchen.

Ryker scarfed down a few pancakes, eggs and bacon.

There is always a little gap between the pancakes and the parade. It was fun to walk around and see friends and to have the Chelan band director yell at me for giving his kids candy.

Ryker had quite the day, he did the 5K, then he walked with us in the parade and then marched with the middle school band.

The kids aren't quite as cute anymore, so we have to borrow some.

The scooter was a big hit getting around before and after the parade

Ryker's face was looking a little red by the end.

Jens and her friends played in the 3-on-3 tourney. It was 85 degrees on asphalt and they played four 20-minute games. They were pretty done by the time they were done.

That's pretty much how we all felt.

Eye of the tiger

To top it all off, we had an alumni community softball game in the late afternoon. Some people were worn out and crying by that point, but at least I got to show off my softball skillz.

We were still pretty worn out the next day, Jens didn't even make it home from family lunch
