VEISHEA

last weekend, a train much like this one took me to a magical land known as ames, iowa. 

after i surprised nate at his apartment (with a little help from his roomie), we checked out the VEISHEA parade. 

we saw some big red fire engines. 

and even the mystery machine.

big beach balls went flying! 

of course we had some of those enchanting cherry pies.

(10,000+ of these things were sold!)

cam came down for the afternoon and seemed to really enjoy her little pie.

then we went to campus to check out the happenings.

everyone wanted a picture with me!

sooooo many people.

hanging out on central campus.

these cute old people came and played for us.

here is a video of their performance. if you look closely, you can see us in the last frame!

that night, nate talked steven and me into working at a fundraiser for this guy. from what i could tell, he was a former hippy wearing what was quite possibly his first suit ever (the buttons on his shirt weren't even in the right holes). they served veggie burgers and played "bob's bean bag toss." it was pretty fun.

then, steven and michael j. fox went exploring in the woods and took this manly photo of themselves.

the end.
