Chubbuck Days

Since we live in a smaller community, we decided to take advantage and actually start participating in local events. Luckily, we made the decision right before the annual Chubbuck Days celebration. There was an entire weekend's worth of activities but having just moved a few days beforehand we only went to the Saturday ones.
We dragged the girls to a parade first thing in the morning where they learned the beauties of free candy and loud sirens.

 Trucks, classic cars, horses, loud music, and dancers were some of the girls' favorite things. :D

 After the parade, we went to the park for what was a fancy farmer's market. :D Lots of tents and booths and food. We had fun making crafts at the Home Depot booth (and the girls got free aprons!), we earned even more candy at all the fair-like competitions, and were able to see some of our friends from our old ward.

After a couple of hours, we picked up lunch at Wendy's (cheating, I know, but the girls wanted fries and chicken nuggets) and also a taco from a Spanish church group (sooooo worth it!). We also checked out the Southeaster Idaho Highland Games for a while. We even got to see some caber tossing! WalMart provided free watermelon right before the fire department made it "rain" for the children. We were exhausted by the end of the afternoon!
