weekend in pictures


 "Wabash Days"

where we spent most of our Saturday afternoon

This year our town celebrated 153 years of our town's railroad heritage

from 1857 to 2010

 tons of booths
a town parade
carnival rides
games
food
drinks
a little bit of jazz music

 just plain old carnival fun in our historic downtown

the celebration is only about a mile and a half from our home

so instead of captioning all the pictures

I'll let them tell the story...

some are of downtown shoppes with vintage signs
*love*


and others have silly memories to us

like double daring Bobby to do the bottle break...

he kept eyeing the sign for the game

I said...

"just do it already..."










 






















one of my favorite parts was watching the girls ride the rides together
all by themselves
and being able to watch them from a distance
with this handsome guy...


not to mention finding one of his old project hats while he was away these past weeks
with our favorite number on it

made me smile to hang it up for him
but also made me miss him more

Great pictures, looks like a fun family day! I can't wait til both my girls can ride on the rides with each other. I'm sure it is much better watching them giggle together :)
