The train rides this year were similar to last year's, although there was a different train this year. The boys took a train ride with Grandma Paige and Poppa Fred as soon as we arrived uptown.
After the train ride, P was ready to play on the inflatables. He started with the "popsicle" course. I lifted him up the first time, and then had him try to enter on his own for the second go round. He was successful and climbed and jumped like a champ.
C headed over to a simple slide. At first he was tentative and preferred to jump around at the bottom of the slide. He eventually worked up the courage to go down the slide. After his first trip down, some older boys came over and were bouncing down the slide in a seated position. C immediately began to mimic them, and for the rest of the night he bounced down the slide over and over.
The boys were very thirsty - and sweaty - after jumping all evening, so Daddy A saved the day and walked to Wendy's. He returned with fruit punch and my Aunt Diana!
After getting hydrated, P and C went right back to bouncing.
My Uncle John showed up right before the light parade started. We chatted with him for a bit.
P asked to buy a "special treat". He selected a light up bubble gun, and of course C wanted one as well.
We watched the rest of the light parade from where we were standing and then headed back to Grandmere's house. The boys blew bubbles all the way to the car.
P was very excited to have attended "a other late night party!" When I tucked him into bed, he exclaimed, "Wait! We didn't see the band yet!" I explained that there was no band at this late night party. P's answer was, "Oh. Poppa Fred's late night party {my sister's wedding} had a band, but this is just a plain one. Okay."
And on that note, the boys drifted off to dreamland.
Love C's expression in this one!! He is so cute!
