Summer & Small Town Celebration

We are on day 3 of summer break and loving every minute of it! This morning I took Landon to the library for story time, and the town fire chief read a story to the kids. When he was finished, he let all the kids look at the firetruck. Landon got to ring the bell on the truck, and he even sat in the front seat! Of course, I left my camera at home! Next week, Landon starts Little Gym. I took him yesterday to register him, and he really wanted to go in the gym area. I think he is really going to enjoy it! Oh, how I love summer time!
This past weekend we went to Windthorst to their town celebration. Landon got to run in his first race there...I should say Landon participated in his first race since he walked it rather than running it!
They got to run on the new football turf, and it was super soft. When they said, "GO!!", Landon just stood at the start line. I had to nudge him along, and he strolled the whole 20 yard distance! However, he did not come in last...he came in next to last. Ha! It was really cute, and he even got a t-shirt. Maybe next year he will get the hang of it.Landon got to do his first ever cake walk and he won right off the bat!His prize was some homemade cinnamon roll! Yummy!After the cake walk, we took him to play the toy walk, and he won again! Must have been beginners luck! On to some PLINKO for some more fun!
There was also a turtle race (oh my, it was so HOT!!). Matthew found Landon a turtle, and named him Flash. This turtle race stuff was very serious! Ha! We had to get Flash registered for the race, they had various heats of races, and they even had to start one heat over because a turtle was upside down. Crazy, but fun!
Here is a picture of Flash.

Let the race begin!
Landon watching the turtle race. Flash didn't make it to the finals, but we did bring him home with us. He lasted the first night in the backyard under Landon's clubhouse, but Coco must have carried him off! We can't find him anywhere! Landon now goes out in the backyard, and yells, "Flash, are you?"



After the turtle races, we decided to cool off with some Bingo. Landon's beginners luck didn't carry over to the Bingo, so Landon and I went to great grandma's house for nap time.
