Town Days

July is such a great month for festivities here in our little town. I've already mentioned the demolition derby. Well, shortly after returning from New York the carnival came to town. We took advantage of dollars days with some of my family we headed over and enjoyed a few select rides and some treats.
Here we are all riding on the golf car to the carnival.

Nathan and Sydney rode the farriscwheel together. It made me slightly nervous when Sydney started swinging their seat. But they made it safely back to us.

I'm pretty sure Nathan chose to ride the trucks. I think they probably looked cooler than they were.

Here's Nathan on the spaceship. Another looks cooler than it actually is. I'm glad we just spent a dollar a ride. Each ride is normally somewhere between $2 and $5.

The next day we went to the rodeo. Nathan watches the rodeo grounds all year asking when the rodeo is so we couldn't miss it. Alli joined us and we had a good time.

One of our favorite events is watching the kids chase the calves trying to get money off their backs. Nathan can't wait to be 6 so he can join in on the fun.

Another favorite is watching both girls and guys try to ride the hide behind a horse going as fast as they can. The person usually doesn't actually ride on the hide but sometimes does manage to make it holding on the rope like in this picture.

You can tell Nathan is getting tired in this picture. We didn't last through the whole thing but hopefully long enough to hold Nathan off for another year.

While I didn't get my camera out for some of the other town days activities but we participated in most of them. We watched the parade and the movie in the park. We had a group over for dinner on the fourth prior to watching the fireworks from our front yard. We went over for fair food and the festivities the morning of the fourth, at the park. We feel lucky to live where we do.
