Fun at Railroad Days

This weekend was the railroad days festival in our town. The big parade is on saturday and so we had lunch at our house with everyone, then walked across the street to watch the parade!
Gramma, Papa, Len, Kyle, Rob, Abby, Avery, Tessa, Barb and Brad were there with us. The kids had fun watching all the loud and silly stuff go by and the grown-ups had fun watching the kids!

Jack seems a little unsure about all these noisy things


Quent was pretty happy about the orange paper someone handed him
(thanks Daddy for taking good pictures of us all)

Here's Avery, Quent, and Jack riding on the Super Trucks ride. Avery was having a blast, smiling and laughing. Jack just looked a little bewildered the whole time, but cried when he had to get off. Quent started out great, but then began to cry toward the end. Maybe we are just not ready for that yet.

We went to a 50th anniversary party for Uncle Jim and Aunt Sharon on Sunday (Big congratulations to them!) and the kids got a chance to play again while we were there. There was lots of room to run around, be silly, and visit with more family!

It was a really fun weekend being able to play with Avery and Tessa we can't wait to see them again soon!
