A Sunny Afternoon at the Street Festival

Our home town held it's annual street festival in the glorious sunshine and our family took full advantage of all the outdoor food and fun!

 

 

The boys had  a marvellous time trying out these hand-propelled boats set up in a huge blow-up pool in the park.  At first they shared a boat, but soon found they were too heavy and weighed the vessel down.  Cam climbed into his own ship and they were off to the races!

No boats for Afton.  She REALLY wanted  a balloon animal so Daddy and  she stood in line for nearly a half and hour so she could be the proud owner of a pink balloon bunny!

Is Bryn too old for the blow-up bouncy castles?  No way.  As long as he fits through the entrance door, he's going in!

 

Camden LOVES getting his face painted - and always in a superhero theme.  This time it was Batman handily painted by the lady who runs the paint store on Main Street. Do you see her dress?  It's made of paint chips!!!

It was nice to spend some time walking through the centre of town.  I drive by these old buildings so often but hardly ever get  a good look at them. This day out was the perfect opportunity to look closely and appreciate the architecture of our home town.

And how about some food?  Bryn chose a kebab of pork topped with a chunk of pineapple from a Hawaiian-themed BBQ hut. Kevin chose a smoothie served in a real, hollowed out pineapple.  Very refreshing and VERY summery!

 

To finish out the afternoon we watched a dog show put on a by a local training centre that trains dogs for TV and movies.  We watched them move in unison, jump, do slaloms, retrieve, and do a variety of tricks.  Camden even got involved in a "backwards race|" with a bull terrier.  Apparently it is hard to train a dog to walk backwards so Camden had to prove he could move faster than the dog.  In the end, it was a tie and Camden was very glad the doggie didn't beat the pants off of him!

 

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It was cold and rainy here today, but with only 2 weeks left of school, the weather is NOT going to bother me. 

 

Hugs to all,
