City Summer Celebration!

CastleDale City had it's yearly "kick off the summer" party. There were all kinds activities that started in the morning and lasted all day:). Since Chris is a City employee it meant he had to work on Saturday but Aden and I made the best of it by spending as much time with him at the park as possible. We played on the playground equiptment before brunch. I got a little camera happy but Aden was being super cute!! Then we had brunch and Aden decided before we ate that he wanted to ride the "gattor" with Chris....it is a mix between a tractor and a golf cart:). He climbed in to it all by himself and wanted to drive it. After brunch and some more playing on the playground we came home for naps and then latter some lunch....Aden was too busy to eat much at brunch. In the afternoon Chris had to go and help with a funeral (part of his job) so we chilled out at home til 3 when the games for all the kids took place. They had all kinds of inflatable games like a bouncy house, an obstacle course and a slide that they added water too for extra fun! Since Aden was loveing the slide earlier and of course loves water we thought he might like the water slide. So we asked a kid we know that is a little older and was going on the slide anyways if he would take Aden down. Well if you can't tell from the pictures we were wrong about the the slide being fun. He decided he wasn't real big on the idea when he was almost to the top and it was clear on the way down and most especially when he hit the water pooled at the bottom that he hated it. After he got off the slide and finally stopped crying we got a couple of pictures of him being a "cool dude" with his sunglasses on basking in the sun and drying off. Then the funniest thing happened while I was talking to an old work friend...Aden took the hand of my friends little daughter and they started walking around hand in hand it was soooo cute!!! After all the fun we had dinner and the then watched the kids rodeo. It was fun to watch but Aden was really tiered and was getting a little restless and because Chris had to help with the rodeo I was left to chase Aden by myself and called it a night early at 8:30, which is past Aden's bedtime anyway. He fell asleep on the way home he was soooo tiered! The poor guy was so sticky and sweaty that we didn't want to but had to wake him to shower him off. But he fell right back to sleep once he was bathed and jammied:) It was a long day but super fun!!!! Hope you like the pictures, we love you all, The Bingham's
