Festival Fever

Ever since we took little Max to the St. Dominic's festival in July, he has been obsessed with 'festivals' (although he often calls them parades by accident).  He was very VERY upset when the festival packed up and moved on...he didn't want anyone else to have a festival...he wanted the festival to stay at his church all year long...

I guess I can't blame him...I mean, he got to eat good festival food and go on some fun rides...who WOULDN'T want a festival all year long!?!?

Max was lucky because we took him to the festival TWO nights in a row.  The second night, we went up with our neighbors (Owen and Evan)...



Max was so excited to show them the rides and he was, of course, first in line to ride the bumblebee ride...


He was just grinning from ear to ear he was so excited!


Sam was a little sad that he was too little to go on the rides this year...he'll have to wait for next year...



Max showed Owen how to climb up into the ride...



And he even buckled them in and pulled the lap bar down!


From the bumblebee ride, they went on to riding the 'Bouncing Buggies'...



I don't think they were having any fun, do you??

Side note -- I had to ride the Bouncing Buggies with Evan because Mike couldn't fit into the ride.  No, I will NOT be sharing any of those pictures with you.  But, let me tell you, those buggies were REALLY bouncing!  LOL
