Parade & Carnival

Our neighborhood has a fabulous parade and carnival every year. It's one of the things we've really enjoyed living here. In previous years, the kids have ridden on the fire truck, but this year the guy who arranged the fire truck retired. The kids still had a fun time though. Here are my girls getting ready for the parade.
I loved this 'float'. Very creative and fun.
Nothing like wearing long sleeves in the middle of summer :)
A new part of the fun this year was a dunk tank. Big Man was in line immediately. He was dunked 2 or 3 times. He thought that was pretty cool.
There was also face painting. Big Man wanted to be a skeleton.
I'm not quite sure what Little Man turned out to be. He wasn't sure either.
In his own words, Big Man 'chowed down' on the watermelon.
There was snow cones, popcorn, a fish pond, dinner, and good friends to visit with. It was a fun night.

And you were the sole adult, took tons of pictures and you posted you it to your blog so fast- you are so on top of things all the time! I hope you don't mind I'm copying this picture with Ryan in it of the watermelon contest.
