Thomas didn't really have any desire to go and so mom and I took the kids. The weather was nice and dry, with a small chill in the wind, but not bad!
We headed to the kid zone first, where we came across and horse and of course, the kids had to see it! We then, found some inflatables to play on, Tapanga was to small and Tyler didn't really want to play on them, but Tanner really enjoyed them.
There were many groups that offered games and activities to participate in. Tanner and Tyler "milked a cow", Tanner tried to hook a steer, and the kids dug in hay for prizes.
After digging in the hay two of the kids got Chick Fil A tattoos and Tanner and Tapanga made sun visors.
The theme for this years festival was about protecting the environment and so a few of the activities had to deal with planting seeds. At one table the kids took a napkin and got it wet, then they took a piece of corn, a radish seed and a bean seed and placed it inside. It was then folded and placed in a ziploc bag made into a necklace. 3-4 days later we would start to see it rooting and we did!
Another tent had the kids plant pumpkin seeds in a cup and these starting sprouting a few days later! It took us a few days to plant them in the garden by the time we did they were as long as a pencil!
After playing games and having fun in the kids zone for a couple hours we ventured out to see what else we could find. One of the neatest things this year was people that were standing on a pedestal, painted in either all silver or all gold, playing an instrument. The trick was they would only move and play if money was placed in the bowl. The kids and myself really enjoyed watching this, Tyler was a little nervous about going up to them and he would run quickly away. The people were really good at holding their pose while the waited for the next donation!
After visiting the weinermobile, we found a spot on the curb to watch the childrens parade.

Tanner and Tyler really enjoy getting to see the military vehicles, which is pretty cool because the kids can climb in them and check them out.
After eating lunch at the Blackhorse, we went on search of what else we could find. One thing we were looking for was a sword set, because the boys had been seeing people carrying them around and desperately wanted one! What we did find were some inflatable toys, Tyler got himself a guitar, Tanner a sword and Tapanga a Dora!
I am really thankful to live in our town that offers opportunities for times like this! Fun activities and events for all!
