Festival '09

This town that we live in up here is so awesome and has alot to offer. One of things Cailyn really loves is to go see is the firetrucks! When the garage doors are closed, she says, "they need to open them for us." On Saturday August 29th, they had a huge festival and parade. Well of course I wanted to go because I knew that the firetrucks would be in the parade and that would just make Cailyn's day. Brady wasn't able to go with us because he had a test on that Monday and my good friend, Dana had to work- so it was just me and the kids!
We started with the parade and the kids were in the jogging stroller just waiting. We stood right by the road so if we stuck our arm out we could touch whoever was walking by. Well sweet Bubby fell asleep and slept through the WHOLE parade and Cailyn was too shy to get out of the stroller! Most of the people in the parade threw candy for the kids, well my crazy child would not get out of the stroller to get the candy! The nice kids around us going crazy because there was candy all over the place would occasionally come and bring her some to put in her bag.
After the parade they had a cool, very kid-friendly festival that we went to. They had a ton of blow-up toys and crafts to do. Cailyn was so overwhelmed, Peyton could have cared less but was a very good baby the whole time. We did all of the free crafts which Cailyn loved. I even bought 2 tickets to have Cailyn go on a blow-up slide or something. Well the shy child that she is walked to the stairs to climb up the slide and came crying back because she realized I couldn't go and help her. I needed Carter there! :) So we went to try a little worm blow-up toy, you basically are in an open tunnel and you climb up twice and then slide down. I could see her go through but she is so petite. We waited in line and I had to convince the lady that she was close enough to 3 to get her in. She did good the first time and then the second time she got stuck in the middle and kids were going crazy, I couldn't get to her, luckily an older boy was in there and I just had him pull her up over the last climb.
All in all it was alot of fun, the kids loved it, and it was a perfect family activity!
the slide of terror- we did not even attempt one stair
