Primary Parade

This is our ward's annual primary parade. They bring in a fire engine for the kids to ride on or the kids can ride their bikes, scooters, 4-wheelers, etc. Big man wanted to ride on the fire truck. He was SO excited. He thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
This is big man's friend. She is so good with him and he adores her. She kept an eye on him on the fire truck since I wasn't about to get up there :)
The parade ends at the park where it splashes water for the kids to play in.
Big man was a little overwhelmed at first, but it didn't take him long to get completely soaked (shoes, socks, and all).
This is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. I thought about it myself :)
Little man would only get his feet wet and that was after the water had stopped from the fire truck. He's not nearly as brave-maybe next year.
The primary went all out with festivities, food, and games. It was a great activity. This is big man with some friends attempting the 3-legged race. They held hands until it started and then it was a free-for-all. They all ran in different directions. It was pretty funny to watch.
The evening was a great success and big man was so tired, he slept extra long this morning. This is a fun tradition that we'll definitely look forward to.

That sounds like such a great tradition! Is it just your ward or is it a stake activity? If it is just your ward it looks like you had a great turn out and you have a big primary.

Was that a ward party? Looks like you all had a blast. :) You can never go wrong with a big fire truck, water, and little boys! :)

That is a fun idea. It looks like the fire truck wasn't shy about spraying water. I'm glad the boys had a good time!

Hey! So many cute entries. I am sorry to hear about your kidney stones. That sounds awful. Your boys are so cute. When are you due? We should get together again, seeing as how it was about a year ago that we last did so. Hope you are all doing well.
