Veteran’s Day in Beloit

We had a terrific Veteran day in Beloit yesterday. Highlights if the day were

1.   Sebastian and Carolina rollerblading , while holding the banner down the parade route. They did not drop it once but their “need for speed” kept the rest of us running to keep up!

2. Visiting the Vets at the VFW. One Vet gave all the children a dollar and another showed the  children magic tricks!

3.  Visiting with wonderful families at  The Perfect Pair, 100 S. Mill. 785.738.3000. It is run by a mother-daughter, who are so hospitable, you feel like you are at your girlfriend’s house. Every detail was gorgeous from the  circa 1950’s turquoise booths  to the marble counters to the yummy floats and shakes! Francesca even got to help wash dishes and when it was done, the owner said”okay now you can help make yourself a milkshake!” Francesca proceeded to take Carolina’s order and they chatted the whole way home about how much fun they had. They have loads of  high quality toys for sale and I plan to go back before Christmas to stock up on some presents.

4. Hanging out with our new friend, Polly, who is so enthusiastic and cheerful that you can’t help smiling when you are around her!
