carnival, parade & concert fun

like i said in my last post, our city celebration was the same weekend as gavin's birthday. he thought it all came to town just for him :).
we got the boys wrist bands for the carnival this year. so we went every day for three days :). i loved watching how much fun the boys were having..it made the hot sun worth it. Bjorn {kaden's best buddy} got a wrist band as well....

haha...what a classic pic. his face says it all!

the swings were always my favorite when i was little {and still is one of my favorite rides at lagoon for that matter}...

the boys LOVED loved loved the giant slide. both kaden & gavin were able to climb the stairs and go down by themselves this year. they kept going, and going, and going! gav even talked daddy into going down with him a few times....

the next day...
on the merry go round.

i love kaden's face...haha!

parade time...

here's a few pics of the boys at the parade.

all the little girls were going up to give this princess a hug. gavin thought he needed to as well :)...

the infamous slide again :)...

that night we went to the tracy lawrence concert with audra & sebi & their girls.
we had a lot of fun. nothing says summer better than an outdoor concert...

brain freeze! hahaha!

kaden was dancing throughout the whole concert...

good. times.
