Ward Bike Parade and Carnival

We had a fun ward bike parade and carnival. The kids "decorated" their bikes (we didn't have much to work with, unfortunately) and rode them all the way down our street and back. Bryson had just learned to ride his "two-wheeler" without any help, and was excited to participate. Hayden was excited to be a part of it, too - even on his tricycle. The girls had fun too. After the parade, we ate hot-dogs, and had home-made rootbeer (mmmmm). There were lots of activities - a cake walk, a fish pond, watermelon seed spitting (mmm again), face painting, water balloons. It was a great success and it was fun to walk all over the neighborhood and see and visit with our friends. The kids thought it was GREAT! And since, for some reason, I can't get what I write to post on the same post as the fun slideshows... just look below for the slideshow of the pictures! One of these days, I'll really figure out how to run this blog correctly!
