willy street parade

Our neighborhood is famous for its summer festivals. Starting in June there are four big ones - one each month - and the final festival, the Willy Street Fair, is always my favorite. It's when the neighborhood REALLY lets its freak flag fly. (Want to see what I mean? Check out here and here.)

The Willy Street Fair was this past weekend and yesterday we took Matteo to the festival parade. I think he really liked it. He had the best view on the street.



Our friend Adam was hooping in the parade.



Next year his and Stefanie's baby will be at the parade with us!



Guess what else Matteo did for the first time this weekend? He started sucking his thumb.
