Buffalo Bill Days

Oh, Buffalo Bill Days.  One of my favorite weekends of the year.  No joke, I love it!  This year we lived up BBD to it's fullest.

We started out by going to the park Friday night for a picnic and to listen to the band.

Asher LOVED his first Buffalo Bill Days!

After dinner, Caden ran into his sweet little friend, Bergen (Ms. Amber's daughter).  They spotted each other across the park and then went running toward one another like they were in a movie.  So sweet!

Caden then told me that he wanted to go on the rides.  I thought that there was no way Mr. Timid was going to actually ride them by himself.  

Apparently I was wrong!

He rode every ride they had - including a ferris wheel

And a spiny-throw-up-tea-cup-like thingy

I sent Daddy on that one

He did pretty well until Daddy gave it a spin - that only happened once! 

He even did the (rickety looking) swings

He also did the bouncy house and slide

On Saturday morning we went to the pancake breakfast at the firehouse (no pictures - just imagine pancakes, bacon, and orange juice).

Then it was time for the Best of the West Parade.  

On Sunday, after Papa and Gaga arrived home from Alaska, Caden wanted to take them over to the park and show them the rides.  This time he convinced Papa to take him on the spinny-throw-up-tea-cups.

That smile says it all - we love, love, love Buffalo Bill Days!
