Fun in Downtown

We look forward to Downtown Days every year.

This year did not disappoint!

Daddy headed down early to help

the neighborhood team in the BBQ contest.

Once we were up from nap,

Mom loaded the van and we were off for adventure!

(Mom was really proud of her parallel parking skills...)

We had some bar-b-que at the Legacy Wood tent,

watched a few trains pass by (2 of them!!!), 

and set out with Grandma and Grandpa for some fun!

First, we hit the space shuttle Atlantis replica

The flight simulator was pretty cool,

but I did get a bit scared with all the noise and lights

I recovered quickly, though,

and Wes and I hopped on our first ride of the night

As you can see,

the train was a LOT of fun

Next was the carousel

Then the pony ride

 We asked Wes if he wanted to go...

his face lit up and he screamed "YES!" 

and nearly jumped off Dad's shoulders

Weston LOVED it!

 The next ride Wes was too small to get on

and Grandma was too big to get on.

Everyone was shocked when I shrugged and jumped on by myself

 How could I turn down spinning teacups?

We tried our had at some games

Turned out they weren't too tricky

And we won these AWESOME bats

Thanks Grandma!

We finished off the night with a final spinning ride

(Mom loved it!)

 then some funnel cake and dancing to the music of the bands.

What a fun night!!!
