Sawdust Day's parade

Balloon festival.

I was very surprised to hear the gun shot fire while I was doing my am exercises. I looked outside to see Jared, in bare feet, looking at a dead fox. Jacob was already awake and Adam yelled, “I awake!” We all went outside to check out the fox. After going out for Sat am drinks and donuts we headed over to Sawdust Days, which is in the town I grew up in. At 10:30 the parade started. They tossed lots of candy. If Jacob picked up two pieces of candy and Adam didn’t get any he’d hand him a piece all on his own. Vikki and Kenzie met us there after the parade was done. We walked to a park where the activities took place. Kenzie had Uncle Jared arrested. Adam wanted to go in the jail with Daddy for part of the time. Jared was sliding a stick across the bars saying, “I’m innocent!” He also tried to make plans another on climbing out. They kept him in there for about 5 min. We walked over to check out the cars at the auto show. They also had remote control boats and cars that the boys liked watching. Jacob asked to drive one so he and Daddy had fun doing that a couple times.. We stopped at a few garage sales on our walk back. We left around 1:30 and the boys ate a packed lunch in the van. We headed over to Grandpa’s house to visit. Jared brought the fox to show him. He asked Jared if he wanted help skinning it so they worked on that. The boys had fun playing with Grandpa’s toys and we also took a walk in the yard. Got to Mom’s house around 5pm where we quickly ate dinner – thank-you Mom! We then drove to the fairgrounds to watch the hot air balloons launch. Nana and Papa came too. Those were really fun to watch. There were also many balloons that came from another area and flew right over us. Mel and her family soon were there also. The kids were excited to see each other and had fun time playing together. We got to watch skydivers jump from a plane and land. We visited together and waited until dusk to watch the after glow. Got home shortly after 9pm.
