After a disappointing start to the morning (the pancake breakfast ran out of food and we had to park super far away from our parade spot) we watched Mapleton's parade. It's a slow and simple parade. One must enjoy it for what it is. I hope they never get real floats.
These kids are getting too big.
"A monster truck fire truck!" This was James's favorite.
Then we headed to the park to play games and jump on the bounce houses (or bouncy houses as my kids call them).
Sarah waited in line for 30 minutes to climb the rock wall.
After we spent all our tickets, we left to get lunch at Chick-fil-a and then went home. That evening we went to the sports park for the festivities there--beginning with the ping pong ball drop to win a bike (we didn't win a bike)
And then when the sun goes down and the glowsticks come out--it's that magical time waiting for the fireworks to start.
And then there's the fireworks of course. It's such a good show. Totally worth parking a half mile away, the heat, the average band and the slow drive home.
You know it's good when ash is falling on you.
Would you believe James fell asleep on my lap during all this? He did.
