Summer 2013

While I've been dragging my feet on posting the vacation photos, the summer of 2013 has inexorably been marching along.  Right after we returned from Sweden we ran into the 4th of July celebrations, with the ever popular Kids Parade. Mathias & Johan decided along with the neighbor boys that they wanted to be Cops & Bank Robbers.  Lest there be any confusion, the robbers are the ones in the striped outfits and face masks! With Cops on their bikes and the Gator now serving as a getaway car, the chase was on!

The gist of the story was that Mathias and his friend robbed the State Bank of Delano.  A funny thing happened at the end of the parade where the kids ran into none other than the president of the bank. He wanted his money back. A shootout ensued. The kids ended up walking away with second prize in the parade for the second or third year in a row.
