Country Fest

I love how all the little communities in Utah have a "town days" festival in the summer. There are parades, carnivals, softball tournaments, rodeos, and other fun activities. I'd love to be able to attend ALL the town days for ALL the nearby cities, but this year, we just weren't able to. Partly because of having a new baby it gets difficult to get out all the time. But on Saturday, June 18th, I took the kids to Country Fest, the town days of a neighboring town. We went to the parade in the morning and then stayed for the carnival right after it. The kids were able to go on a few rides and we bought some cotton candy and a funnel cake to share. The beautiful part was the Jonah literally slept through the entire thing in his carseat in the stroller. He fell asleep on the way there and stayed asleep through the entire parade and then while we were walking around the carnival, not to wake up until about an hour after we got home. It was great.

Here we are waiting for the parade to start. Notice the kids are wearing jackets. It was COLD that morning!

They had a car show where we could walk around and see some classic cars. This was an army jeep from WWII. Very cool.

Westley and Caleb were tall enough to ride the Scrambler.

Eliza wanted to go on the boats, so she hopped right into the only pink one, even though it was already occupied by two boys she didn't know.

Travis wanted to go on these motorcycles, so he dragged Westley along with him. Travis loved it. Westley, not so much.
