Metamora Days

Every year Metamora has an end of the summer

Metamora Country Days celebration. There are

crafts, a petting zoo, car show, parade, etc..

Tim, Cody & Egan met us in town to watch the parade.

John, Heather & the boys met up with us a little

later but caught a little of the parade. Very small town

but fun. I worked at the library used book sale so

I didn't get any pictures of Owen at the petting

zoo. He rode in a horse cart. The weather wasn't the

greatest. Part of the celebration is a hot air balloon

festival. It's really fun to watch them fill up & float

away. We went up to the balloon field to watch

but the weather was too bad for them to go up. :-(

James, Amanda & kids had come up for that so

instead everyone came over to our house to hang

out & eat pizza. Flag bearers at the beginning of the parade.

Bagpipers Egan waving at the people in the parade.

Have to have some tractors!

Lapeer West marching band-I always wished

I could have played drums in a marching band!

The hounds from the Metamora Hunt Club-

it's amazing how well trained they are.

Owen & Egan had a great time playing in the

tall grass while we were waiting to see if the

balloons would go up.
