YMCA Fall Festival

The Brentwood YMCA had their Fall Festival tonight.  It's free and open to the public so we made sure to get there right when it started to get as much in as we could before it got crazy crowded (which it eventually did).

I took the boys running on the greenway first and then met up with Suzy and her friend Jen that I met yesterday.  After getting our free shirts, we did the train ride first.  It was a short ride along the greenway but the boys still loved it.

Chase, Carter, me, and Rylan:


Next we did face painting.  Amazingly both Chase and Carter got their face painted (usually they both do their hands).



My camera battery died and I didn't have my extra battery with me so I had to resort to my crappy phone camera (I'm up for renewal so hopefully my next phone will be better!).


Carter loved his spider and ghost.  Rylan would have none of it though.

After waiting in line for 10 minutes for popcorn, we were told the machine was broken.  Carter was very disappointed.  Brian showed up then and we went to get some free pizza instead.  Instead of giving us each a slice, we were given a box with a large Papa John's cheese pizza - PERFECT!

While consuming our entire pizza (mostly by the kids), we waited in line for one of the bounce houses.


By this time the lines for everything were super long so we decided to head out.  And I was freezing - it wasn't that cold but my clothes were still wet from my run.

On the way out we visited the firemen and policemen.  Carter even got his picture with a fireman!


The policemen were the same ones that were at Home Depot a week ago and they recognized us.  But they still gave us more free stuff.  We have collected a lot of random stuff over the last week.  This is only about half of it ...


The shirts though that they were giving out tonight were pretty nice ...


And since I was downloading pictures from my camera, this is one from Tuesday that I took at River Park.  After school I took the boys there for my run and to play on the playground and there were a couple of firetrucks in the parking lot that were open to visitors.  We have definitely been getting our fill of firetrucks this week!
