Good Ol’ Days Saturday

012

We made it about two hours at the festival this year… It was just too stinking hot to be outdoors. We grabbed a Trolley Ride, and then walked around downtown a bit.

015

I thought there was a great turn-out, even if it felt like 105 out.

020

The boys had fun with balloon creations.

0221

We collectively decided that it was just too darn warm, so we headed to Sonic for milkshakes, and enjoyed the air-conditioning back home.

The kiddos and I went for a walk this afternoon, and spotted some pretty Summertime flowers. Now I really want to plant lillies in my yard too.

Trolley Ride

022

One of my favorite things about our town is the Trolley Tour. It is so much fun, and the kiddos love it. We are pretty lucky to live along the Trolley route, so we get to wave when it passes by.

001

When it was time for the Good Ol’ Days again the first thing that everyone wanted to do was ride the trolley, so James bought our tickets, and we all grabbed a seat. Dylan was the most excited out of all of us, he absolutely loves the Trolley.

005

The Trolley takes you throughout the city, and you get to see some amazing homes. Many are from the late 1800’s.

006

You also get to learn all about the town’s history, and hear some funny stories along the way too.

009

The Trolley is nice and breezy too, which was great in 96 degree weather. The Trolley offers many themed rides throughout the year too. There is a “Haunted Trolley” during Halloween, and a “Holiday Trolley” around Christmas. The kids had a great time, and we did too. We can’t wait to go again, especially Dylan.

When Summertime is almost here, it is time for the Good Ol’ Days.

We love to meet up with friends and go to the parade.

Dylan loves the Trolley.

The Miss wasn’t a fan of any of it.

033

There were race cars.

034

And Mascots riding golf carts too.

Bright red Fire Trucks.

036

And Yellow Ducks.

053

We saw funny characters.

070

And just maybe a new addition to our town.

071

I really hope that the skate park will open here, it would be great for the kiddos.

084

We even spotted our neighbor in a Yellow Bug.

098

But of course, there are always tractors…

099

Green ones.

And Red ones too.

All in all it was a super-fun Summertime parade.
