Wagon Days 2010

Every year on Labor Day weekend, we try to go to Sun Valley to the Wagon Days parade. My dad LOVES to go to the Silver car auction so mom and the rest of us go to the parade then have a picnic and wander around Sun Valley. It is a lot of fun. This year mom, Lisa's family and my family all went, and Bryan got to go too!!! He usually has to work but we were happy he was able to come with us this year.

The Wagon Days parade is all horse-drawn. It's pretty cool. We really talked up "seeing the horsies" to Mady on the way there. We arrived a little early and when we were there, and the horsies weren't....she was not happy!!

and then the horsies arrived....

...and she was SO EXCITED!!! She couldn't clap hard enough!

(am I the only one that HATES to have their picture taken? UGH!)

After the parade, we went to the lake behind the Sun Valley Lodge and had a picnic and let the kids play.

Lexy's poor sunburn! The sun was to our right during the parade and we were all a little "redder" on our right sides than our left. And YES, I did put sunscreen on my kids first (but they still burnt).

Brookie never misses an opportunity to strike a pose.

Logan spent most of the day trying to perfect his dam.

And Mady, my child that was scared to death of sprinklers not too long ago, LOVED playing in the lake!!! She didn't even mind that it was freezing cold, she was too busy hunting for rocks at the bottom.

Reagan even had fun playing with the other kids.

Bryan took Alexis and Logan out on the paddle boat. They had a blast!

It was a really fun day. We ended up spending so long at the lake that we didn't even get to go hang out at the car auction with dad! I was a little bummed about that. It's fun to see how excited he gets looking at all of those awesome cars. There's always next year!!
