festival

Tonight we went to a church festival that was close to our house. It is one of the festivals that went went to last year, when Liam rode his first "big kid" ride. He had a blast on the rides, but his favorite parts were the petting zoo and the neighborhood fire truck he was able to climb on.

First up: a ride on the ferris wheel with Daddy. He took it all in before getting on.

Behind the handlebar is a pretty big smile!

Then onto the big slide. It was really fast, and he giggled the whole way down.


He really liked this ride where he could steer the wheel. It went up and down, too, which was fun.

The petting zoo had some neat animals like this cow,


some goats,

and a llama.

Liam would crouch down to see the goats and say, "Hey, wittle guy!" in his high voice he reserves for babies and small animals. It was cracking me up!



Avery cautiously watched the rides

and chewed on the stroller buckle.

And here's Liam in the seat of the fire truck. He was in awe of the parts inside, and I had to pry him out of it, just barely avoiding a mini meltdown. When we talked about our fun night, the fire truck was all he talked about. He loves his trucks!
