Parades Galore

Then next big event after the fair was the dog parade and the children's parade. They were back to back and together lasted less than ten minutes. I really thought it would have been a little better than it was....not too sure that we will return next year for that combo. The best part of the evening for the boys was getting to meet Smokey the Bear. Eva would have nothing to do with him, which is why she isn't in the picture.

We then went to the big parade the next morning. It was worth going to. It lasted about two hours, and all of the kids got their belly full of candy and their hearts full of laughter as they watched the various groups and floats go by.

Lots of family was there, so they enjoyed getting spoiled by Grandma and other cousins, Aunts, and Uncles.

Isn't she cute? That's my niece. She's waiting for everything to start.

Did I mention getting spoiled by the Aunts and Uncles? This is one of the biggest culprits of rottenness at my house.

After the fair we went to the festival. I'm not sure why, but this year I managed to miss pictures of the parade and at the festival. So, I guess my words will have to suffice. We didn't stay at the festival long. We made it over for the World's Largest Free Fish Fry, but other than that, our kiddos were ready to sack out from a weekend full of fun activities. A good time was had by all ;)
