Swimming and a Carnival

This weekend we enjoyed spending our family time at the pool and a carnival. Saturday morning while I went to an art show, Brian took Anna and Micaiah to a parade that was the start of the "Old Shawnee Days" carnival. Anna really enjoys parades and would like to be in one some day. The parade lasted 2 hours. They enjoyed it and had a great adventure...

After nap time, we took the kids to a local pool. It was Micaiah's first experience in a kid pool. It was crowded though so I think he was intimidated. And eventually he just got so cold he was shivering. The pool has some really great slides! One slide is a tube slide and the other is a person slide. Anna can go down the tube slide with an adult, so she had a lot of fun! The first time she went down, I got that picture of her falling out of the tube at the end.
We all got a lot of sun!
After swimming, we went home to change and eat so that we could head over to the carnival.
"Old Shawnee Days" is the town carnival held in the downtown area. Its a popular carnival with rides, games, food, and musical entertainment. Anna got to ride some rides and her favorite was riding the ferris wheel with Papa (pictured below). Micaiah rode a spinny ride with Anna and Papa and got really dizzy. He played on the playground most of the time.
We had a great Saturday!
