Happy 4th Of July

I am sure everyone is enjoying this holiday weekend. I have been busy since Thursday and don't have much planned for today, so it will just be a day to rest and relax a little.

Every year I make a visit to my hometown for the Festival of The Bells. There is food, entertainment, and rides. Before the festival starts the firefighters hold a parade with lots of fire trucks and other floats and walking units. It is amazing looking at the pictures and seeing how much Logan has changed. We went from sitting in a stroller because he  couldn't walk to a little boy being independent and walking up and down the sidewalk on his own.  Before the parade started, the firefighters were called out on  fire run so they went racing by. Logan looked up and me and wanted to know if that was it! He also thought their sirens were a little loud as shown in this picture!

The parade finally began and after it was over we headed to the uptown area to take in the festival. Of course it was dinner time so we had to enjoy some festival food.

We figured this year we were not going to be able to avoid the carnival rides. Luckily Logan was happy doing one game and one ride. He is at a hard age because there was not many rides he could do yet. He chose the horses which was accompanied by a few YEE HAWS! The game he did was the fishing game but of course the boy in him had him reaching his hand in and splashing the water!

By the time we finished this Logan was getting tired. We finished checking out some of the booths and talking to a few people and then we headed home.
