Saturday morning starts with a parade, which always involves lots of candy, Bakers Square giving out pie gift cards, and the local florist handing roses to Moms - awesome. We even had a flash back to our youth with a marching band with Steppers - cool. Here are the girls ready for their haul with their bags...
After a quick lunch out of the hot sun, we head to the park for all the activities. Open house at the fire station... 
...which includes a huge, fire hose assisted slip n slide. This year only M&M Dad and Jr. Princess gave it a go. It is not for the faint of heart. It's cold, the spray is hard, there are skin injuries, and there's always some little kid crying (not ours this time!).
Late afternoon involves fun demonstrations, like this Tae Kwon Do one where Starshine was brave enough (with lots of prodding from us) to go on stage.
There are also super jumps. K-9 dog demos, and this year, they had dock dogs competing by the lake. This was cool because there were dogs everywhere! 
Sunday is definitely going to involve some lounging around the house!

Mind you all of this was free, which is why I don't understand when people are paying for all the carnival rides and other activities. We were tired and ready to get out of the sun long before we had exhausted all of our fun free activities.
We chilled out at home for awhile before heading out for some late night fireworks fun. I surprised the girls with glow in the dark necklaces while we waited. It's kind of a tough park to see fireworks from because of the trees, so M&M Dad noted next time that we should watch from the freeway overpass. Hmmm - not very festive. I think he was just hoping for an easy exit.
And the best part, according to Jr. Princess??? Well, not going to bed until almost 11 of course! (She's posing by her clock)
