ahhh, the freedom festival

our boys always love heading out to the fishers freedom festival. . .new this year was a kid run. i think it could have been much longer, and so did they--maybe next year! of course, EVERYONE got a medal!

the favorite activity of the weekend had to have been the water balloon sling shots {every boy's dream--big boys included--}it seems that no matter where we go cole can manage to find dogs or puppies to pet. today he found two CUTE lab pups, i think he could have pet them for hooooours!another highlight was the rock wall. . .seems that cole blew his bros out of the water on how far he could get!

and of course, what would the freedom festival be without the p-a-r-a-d-e??!!! we always watch this one with grandpa and grandma. it seemed a bit sparse on the candy this year {a sign of our economy???} but the kiddos still had a blast.
