Celebrate Youth

I know I have a post like this every single August, but we are still at that stage where we enjoy (mostly) the celebrate youth day. This year was no different. We jumped on that train very first - and Braden couldn't have been more excited!

Tyler has asked me for a long time how you sign up to be a volunteer. So as soon as we got off the train and before we realized it, Tyler went up to the main booth and asked how. They gave him a shirt and put him right to work. He loved it. He enjoyed being able to do that the most. I understand too as he is getting older, who wants to hang out with his siblings and parents?

We did face painting. A butterfly for Kylie, a football for McKenna and of course Mickey Mouse for Braden.

The hospital had a fun gigantic operation game that all of them enjoyed.

The bumpers that they all enjoyed again. Even Braden got to participate this year. Crashing into people - what isn't to love?

They had a little dig for prizes. I thought he looked so cute in that hat!

Then there was the fire trucks and ambulance. Braden is terrified of sirens and doesn't like them. So it was surprising to me that he jumped into the ambulance without a problem and looked around. We get to the fire truck and it was total hang on tight and wouldn't let go of me. It's amazing we got this picture of him sitting on the step. Hopefully he won't think it quite as scary anymore.

We weren't chosen for any prizes again this year - but maybe next!
