Fire Engine Parade

Today we took the kids to the Fire Prevention Parade. There were probably 100 or so fire engine type vehicles. They were represented from Lexington, Georgetown, Scott County, Stamping Ground, Paris, Bourbon Co., Dry Ridge, and more. It was very impressive. We were lucky enough to run into some friends from the ward. Their daughter was in Ethan's class last year and he thinks she is pretty neat!

Fall Break Playdate!

Today I organized a last minute playdate at the playground behind the boys' school. We had 7 families from the ward show up. It was a fun time except for the millions of yellowjackets that we had to deal with. Here are some pictures of the fun. . .

Starving Artists?

Today I got out the markers and some large pieces of paper and let the kids do some artwork. They had so much fun making their creations. Here is a sampling of their work.
