Pony Express Days

Yesterday we went out to Clarkston for Pony Express Days. This is something I never knew existed until 6 years ago when I married Andy. Now it's something we never miss! The day was over packed with fun activities:

-Andy played in the 3 on 3 basketball tournament and his team won the whole thing!

-We went to the parade and the kids got tons of candy

-Maddie participated in the stick horse race, the horse pull race, and the catch a chicken game.

-The kids played on the blow up slides and jump houses.

-Maddie won a bunch of prizes for bobbing for apples and other fun games.

-The fire tuck sprayed everyone down with the fire hose and left tons of huge water puddles afterwards that the kids loved playing in.

-We enjoyed seeing lots of family and friends.

-We celebrated my birthday- a few days early (I'm not 25 yet! :)

-We got home completely exhausted at 11pm.

After jumping up and down in the water for awhile, Garen decided he was hot enough to just dive in-

This is Maddie doing the stick horse race, she's wearing an orange shirt-

This is Maddie being dragged around and hanging on for dear life-

This one was my favorite! So funny. Each age group got to try and catch chickens and rabbits to take home. Maddie loved chasing them but even if she would have got the chance to pickup one of those chickens she probably wouldn't have touched it-

Maddie's not in this one, it was only for 11 and up. But it was just too funny, watching these kids try and catch the pig and they really wanted it to take home!-

Garen wasn't big enough to climb up the slide by himself so Andy got to take him. He loved it! And you can see in the video we are also getting hit by the fire hose-I can't believe how far those things can shoot and how much water comes out of them!-
