Frog Fun

This year we again attended a lot of events at our town's Spring Festival that lasts all week long. This has become a tradition that CR looks forward to all year long.

CR eating his breakfast waiting for the first event...the parade

Glen and Glenda the Frog (the festival mascots) leading the parade

Waiting for the frog float to begin

Here they come to the finish line...of course the first ones "owners" to get to the end win some prizes.

Glen in the boat was a great way to help the time pass for the kids as they all awaited the frogs to float (with the help of a fireman/hose) to the finish line.

Bless her heart...she is such a trooper to hang out in the heat and not make a fuss that all we drag her to. I guess this is the "second child syndrome". They must learn to adapt with the lives of the others in the family.

Sundaes with Glen...and some of his buddies. CR had to visit with each of the "friends"

Making his frog flowerpot

I can't believe he did this. Last year, he would have never done such. This year we had to wait in line over an hour to do this. HE LOVED IT! I can't believe how much he has changed in a year.

K doesn't even get to "help" anymore. CR wants to go by himself. He has turned into such a big boy. So long for Dada's fun until Baby C needs his help.

I got to ride this with him...fun but made me dizzy (a feeling I care nothing about since my tumor). I am glad he enjoyed it though and is over his fear of rides.

He is also not afraid of characters any longer it seems

This may be his favorite event...at least the one that he has talked about most since last year. This year it was even better...he wasn't afraid of the loud horns and got in a lot more trucks. This was a loader that he got to get into and operate. This was right up his alley! He always says he is going to have a red diesel truck one day. The boy and his trucks!

At this event, a huge parking lot is filled with trucks, trucks, and more trucks. We had to get into every one almost. It was so exciting for him to crank them up, sit up high, look at the cranes.

Of course we had to visit this first!
