Country Days 2010

We headed down to Farmington for another weekend of Country Days. The kids always have a great time. We met up with the Felkers and watched the parade. Ellie has developed a bit of a fear of dressed up characters, so she was constantly getting up from her chair and hiding behind me whenever a clown or princess came near.
After the parade, Gran took a sleepy Max back to the house and we took Ellie down to ride some rides. She's getting big enough now that she wants to try some of the bigger kid rides. She and Jason rode this spinning ride, but they didn't spin too much (so Jason wouldn't get sick), and Ellie loved it.
The giant slide is always a hit and a must do each year.
Ellie rode the boat merry-go-round and the car merry-go-round. This might be the last year Ellie enjoys these rides, but I think they'll be perfect for Max next year.
But Ellie's absolute favorite part was the pony rides. She kept talking about it afterwards and telling us how much fun it was.
After we finished at Country Days, we headed back to Gran and Popi's for lunch and to cool down. Luckily we planned ahead and brought bathing suits for the kids, so they had a good time playing in the sprinkler.
Gran saves Max from the cold water.
Max got a cold blast of water and wasn't too sure if he liked it.
The kids also played in the playhouse. What kid doesn't love a playhouse?!
