Dayton Days!

There's this cute little town about 40 minutes NE of us called Dayton. We try to take the kids to their annual town celebration when we can because it's always a pretty fun time. This year the weather was perfect and with no napping babies (or even kids in diapers - can you believe it?!) we stayed until early evening and had a blast! We watched the parade in the morning and the kids loaded up on candy (only running in front of moving vehicles to snatch it up once or twice!) Next we had a yummy picnic at our favorite park in Dayton. We played softball, football, the kids played on the toys and climbed trees and we all soaked up the sun.



Brad had heard of a kids' fishing pond near the park so we went there next and the kids caught NINE fish (that pond was well stocked!)


The girls were conflicted about the killing of the fish...

...the boys were not.


We came home and had a yummy fish fry for dinner! But not before crashing in the car for the 45 minute drive home (LONG day!) Poor Jacob even fell asleep mid-lollipop!
