Firemen's Picnic and Parade

About two weeks ago, driving down Main Street, Brooke looked out her van window and pointed while saying, "Mommy, that is where the picnic and the rides are going to be."  She must have super powers that we are unaware of because no one had mentioned anything to her about the picnic - knowing full well, that is all we'd hear about if it was brought to her attention.  So... when they saw the rides and tents go up, their eyes were huge and the excitement began.  Oh to be young again!

On our walk over to the picnic grounds, Luke was running, yep running, and this is the kid that doesn't like to over-exert himself or even exert himself at all!   Brooke looked up at her Nana and said, "This is AMAZING!"  (and I said to myself, OMG!)

Needless to say, the rides were a hit!

Nothing like going round and round on motorcycles!

This ride was a tad bit more grown up...not only did the spaceships go in circles, they also raised higher and lower.  The first time it happened all six eyes and three mouths were opened wide!

We ended the night by going down the slide.

Going Up!

"Wheeeeeee", that was fun and folks its a steal for only $1.50 per time.  That's right, step right up, all three kids going down this fantastic slide for only $4.50 and they did it not once, but twice!  How awesome is that?!?  (They had fun and that is all that matters, right?)

Sunday was the parade.  We set up camp at Nana and Papa's house. 

And got lots of crap candy!  Daddy was in charge of the parade for the second year in a row so he didn't come by until the end and they were so excited to see him! 

Another Firemen's Picnic, come and gone!
