A Day in May...

On Sunday we attempted to take in the May Day parade in South Minne. Well, it didn't quite go according to plan. We started with a front row seat, a blanket on the curb. However "Minnesota Nice" is actually a myth. There was nothing nice about the three rows of people that crowded in front of us, blocking our view as the parade began. Feeling that I couldn't stand for an hour or more and Jackson could not sit a top Dad's shoulders for this amount of time, we headed off in search of a different kind of entertainment. It was such a beautiful day that strolling around Powderhorn Park eating hot dogs, baklava and snow cones was incredibly enjoyable.

Our prime parade watching locale before the many "nice" people stood right in front of us blocking our view.

Decorated boats for the festival.
