Rainbow Parade

Zack is gone to be in a good friend's wedding in Tulsa, Mike Kimbrel and Jenn Mancuso - CONGRATS! I am still heartsick that I could not be there. More selfishly than anything, I wanted to go so bad to see all our amazing friends and just have a good time! With CARE Fair yesterday, the same day as the wedding, and not knowing when Rockwell would come, we just didn't plan right on this one. A tribute to Mike and his Kimbrelisms on the Seely blog 7.16.2008 http://www.seelys.blogspot.com/

Anyways.... since Zack is gone we didn't attempt church this morning, but instead went on a walk through Monument Valley Park to feed the ducks and then walked downtown to stop for coffee and feed Rockwell.

After about an hour in the coffee shop, we noticed the streets being blocked off downtown and I was wondering what sort of festival it was! So we packed up and we headed back out on the walk. I suddenly noticed rainbow pins, rainbow flags, rainbow beads, rainbow mohawks, rainbows EVERYWHERE!!! We were right in the middle of a Gay Pride Parade! I suddenly felt really out of place. Sorry, no photos to share on this one. But Nola learned the word "ainbow!" She's working on the letter R.

Here is a photo from Friday taken from Aunt Suzy's IPhone of Nola loving the swings (finally). She is getting more brave now that she feels a bit better. Tube surgery is scheduled for Aug. 7.
