Health Days!

Along with Mothers Day this last weekend we also enjoyed Health Days, Smithfield's City Celebration. We had a lot of fun, Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt came up and joined us for all the fun. We started the day off going to the parade. The kids absolutely loved it and came home with a ton of candy. Kaitlyn even got a stuffed chicken thrown to her and hasn't let it leave her site since she got it. Except the one time I got it away to throw it in the washer to wash all of the back footprints off of it. We then headed to the park for some fun activities. We started it off with the annual ping pong ball drop. The ping pong ball drop is for kids ages 4-12. They have all the kids meet at the field next to Summit Elementary. We then waited for someone to drop the ping pong balls from the sky. This year they had a huge helicopter drop the balls. Man it is a mad dash of kids running for a ball. They then redeem their ball for a prize. Kaitlyn has come away with some pretty fun prizes. This year she got a fairy doll. Melanie was once again too young for this, so she got to go and do a fish pond, and loves the stuffed panda bear she got. The girls also enjoyed jumping in the big blowup fun house.

That night Kaitlyn and I drove out to watch the fireworks. I guess she has my love of watching fireworks and begged me to take her. Of course she didn't have to beg too long. It was fun to do something with just me and her alone. We haven't done that in a really long time and I think we both really had a great time together.
