Labor Day Fun at Matthews Alive

Jack & Noah at the parade--their first parade!

The boys with "Uncle Bill," the fire safety clown.

A real race car--swoon!

Riding Thomas the Train.

Riding the motorcycle ride--hot & sweaty!
Rick was out of town over the weekend, so I worked out a little deal with my neighbors in which they took Sam for the morning in exchange for Noah. Jack and Noah loved the parade with the marching bands, floats, and candy--oh, the candy!
After the parade, we walked downtown past the fire station, where we got the lovely, sun-blocking hats--thank you, Idlewild fire department! We took a quick pit stop (the boys in a bush, I in a port-a-john--ugh!), and then got to put our hands all over the R-E-A-L race car! "Check out the spoiler, Mom!" Uh-huh.
On to the carnival, where the boys rode the swings--and they were fast! The looks on their faces were an equal mixture of fear and utter delight!
After a few more rides, we enjoyed some delightfully cold snow cones and made the trek back to the car. We had some great fun!
