Orem Summer Fest 2007

Yesterday we went to Orem's Summer Fest. Yes believe it or not Paul was actually home for a weekend. Every year in June Orem has a Summer Fest to kick off the summer. They bring in a carnival and perhaps more importantly to Noah, firetrucks, ambulances, and helicopters. He was stoked that he even got to sit inside the fire truck - as if you couldn't tell from this picture. His other highlight of the day was seeing the cool helicopters, like this apache helicopter he is standing next to.

Gabe on the other hand was very excited about the carousel. So much in fact that he got mad at Sarah when she took him off the horse. He would have stayed on another half hour if the we would have let him. After a few rides and looking at all of the cool stuff, we headed over to the parade. Gabe sat attentively in the stroller as float after float passed by, grabbing the occasional snack from the kid in the stroller next to us. No...we have no idea who they were, but Gabe apparently liked his food because every time we turned around Gabe had something new to snack on.

Then it was off to our 8 foot square piece of grass that we had laid claim to for the fireworks show. One pain staking hour later (due to the grumpy factor of it being 10pm) the fireworks started and it was instant amazement from the boys. They loved it, although it took Noah some time to warm up to them. The fireworks were great, it was fun to have a day together to just be a family. Check out the slide show for the pics.
