Happy 150 Years Carey!!!!

This past weekend, our village had the annual Carey Fest. It was a lot of fun. Tim once again this year was awesome and sat in the dunk tank for Cub Scouts for an hour. I wish I had a picture, it was so funny. He's usually quiet and somewhat shy, but once he gets up there he's outgoing and heckles everyone including innocent passersby. He uses a super soaker and sprays people as far away as he can. Needless to say, he always has the longest line of people wanting to dunk him. Poor guy, I think he spent more time in the water than out of it. He enjoyed it though and looks forward to participating again next year. On Saturday, was the parade. There were 122 entries to the parade this year. All three kids were in the parade, so Tim and I sat in front of my Aunt and Uncle's home and caught candy. It's amazing, they still threw candy despite the fact that there were no kids in sight. For once, it was all ours!!!!!! Anyways, here are some pictures from the parade. Victims of Drunk Drivers. The flag (both sides) is made out of license plates of people that lost their lives in Ohio to drunk drivers. There are also plates hanging and surrounding the trailer. Very sad! We must teach our children.
Cub Scout float. Matthew is in the very front. You can barely see him and even if the picture were closer, you still wouldn't be able to see him. He hid behind the flag when he came closer to us. Nathan who is not camera shy was unfortunately on the other side of the float.
Kaitlyn with her fellow girl scouts.
Tim's favorite. Ronald McDonald on a fire truck.
The fest was so much fun. Tim and I ended the fest at the Bucky Covington concert. He wasn't all that great, but we had lots of fun visiting with our friends and meeting new people.
