Fun at the Fair

Last Saturday was "Heritage Days" in Syracuse. Last year we didn't really participate too much in the festivities because we had barely moved here and didn't know what was going on. This year we had a lot of fun!



Here are the kids waiting for the parade. They were thrilled!

Jace was ecstatic because the first thing in the parade were about 15 fire trucks! He kept looking down the street and laughing and screaming "FIRE TRUCK, Hooray!" as they approached (It's a song from Barney). The funny thing is, Jace says it more like "Fire Furruck" and Sissy says it the same way, except she doesn't say the "r".



Jace learned the drill pretty quick. Wave and smile, then people will throw you LOTS of candy! He was very polite and yelled thank-you back each time!


Brooklyn enjoyed watching from afar, especially when the candy started rolling in, then she'd try and sneak treats while we weren't looking!



Brooklyn and Jace with their loot! They got WAY too much candy, and I have eaten WAY too much of it!




Here's Trev & the babes in front of an old Fire Truck at the fair.




The kids enjoyed the bouncy house....



....and the choo-choo train (of course!)




Jace sliding down a "carpet slide".
I didn't take pictures of my most favorite aspect of the day, which is quite obviously Cotton Candy!!! I love going and checking out the booths at the fairs too. I got the coolest towel-bibs for the kids that have sleeves and cover their entire shirts! Also, my and my sisters got some awesome watches (with the interchangeable beaded bands). I LOVE fairs!!!
