Glen Carbon Homecoming

Every Father's Day weekend, Glen Carbon celebrates with their Homecoming.  It has been a couple of years since we last attended.  Luckily, the rain subsided on Saturday long enough for us to enjoy ourselves.  This year we went to the parade, rode rides, pet baby animals, and played games.

We found some shade and hung out while the parade walked by.  Of course, the boys loved the firetrucks and CANDY!

Once the parade ended, we bought tickets and went straight to the slide.  The boys love the slide.  I think this is the first time I've been able to go down the slide.  I have always been pregnant!! :)  Daddy took the boys a couple of times down the slide too.

There was a petting zoo section full of baby animals.  The animals consisted of a calf, baby goats, a baby camel, a pony, chickens, a baby pig, a rabbit, and a baby lamb.  Carter loved the rabbit!! He kept asking if he could get in the cage with the rabbit and hold him.  Nolan didn't want anything to do with the animals!

What's a carnival without overpriced games and a chance to win junk?  The boys partook in a fishing game with a guaranteed chance to win!!  How exciting!  Nolan and Carter went fishing and each chose a trumpet as their prize.  The boys had fun walking around the carnival tooting their horns.  Needless to say, the trumpets were lost on the car ride home and were never discovered.  

Blake did great while attending his first carnival!  The afternoon got the best of Blake and he was snoozing by the end of the day.
