Frisco Festival

Today was the Frisco Festival. As part of the festival we took a train ride from Rogers to Springdale and back again. I'm pretty sure Tanner thinks we planned the whole festival just for his birthday.

HE LOVED THE TRAIN RIDE!

Here's a picture of us, with the kids wearing their train engineer hats.

 

It was especially fun because Mimi was still visiting. Also, Nanny, Papa, Uncle Joseph, Aunt Julieta, Aunt Laura and cousins Aaron, Stephanie and baby Blake came on the train ride with us.

Tanner has missed his Nanny and Papa so much.
He was pretty much in heaven!

Seriously, how precious is this picture?

Papa wore Bailey's hat for a while because she didn't like it. I love the matching hat picture of Tanner and Papa. Oh and we had to grab one with all the grand kids who were there. We were only missing baby Max!

During the train ride, the Conductor announced Tanner's birthday. He then led the entire train car in singing "Happy Birthday" to my boy. This made his day, but to top it off- he got to wear the conductor's official hat. LOVE this boy!

Once we got off the train, we had to grab a picture with the awesome conductor.

Then a picture in front of the train. I love this picture. See the Ferris wheel reflection?

After the train ride we hit up the carnival rides. Bailey wasn't tall enough for most of the rides, but she was big enough for a pony ride. She was the first to notice the ponies and when she did, she started saying "Please Mommy, my pony. My pony please!"

How could I say no to that?

She loved the pony ride so much!

 

Then I rode the roller coaster with Tanner. He's such a pro at these rides. He was so excited and held on so tight and loved it!

Then Chris took Tanner to ride the teacups. He was big enough to ride them alone and he loved it.

 

Tanner found this random R2-D2 painted on the fun house. He was very excited to find it and insisted on getting his picture with it.

The last ride Tanner rode was the swings with his Nanny. He's never liked the swings before, but he didn't want to get off these. Must have been Nanny's calming presence.

Bailey enjoyed most the festival from her Daddy's shoulders.

 

When we finished with the rides, we decided to grab some lunch. We ate lunch at "Braums" and then came home for naps and to do some party prep.

The festival was lots of fun and we look forward to going back next year.

I'm pretty sure it made Tanner's day!

 

Stay tuned for Tanner's birthday party!
