Blackfoot Pride Days

Last weekend was the start of Blackfoot Pride Days. It is a time filled with fun events for families and tons of stuff for the kids to do. I had my mom come up on Friday night after work, since Chad had to teach a make-up class. We went to Rupe's Night to have dinner and let the kids play. During this evening at Rupe's they set up air filled toys and a rock climbing wall for the kids to play on. This is all free to the kids. Paxton started out in the little kid jumping pit and did great. When he got done he asked if he could do the big slide. I was a little leary to let him because it was so big and I didn't want him to chicken out half way up so we went to the next big thing which was the obsitcal course. He did really well and was so excited and really wanted to try the big slide so I said okay and told him that he had to go all the way up and come down. He told me okay and got in line. I did not have my camera at the time because I forgot that it was in my car, but the look on his face when he came down the first time was nothing but terror. To my amazement he wanted to go again. He went down at least 20 times. I sure wish Chad could have been there to see him. He would have been so proud. Paxton was also brave enough to try the rock wall.

Saturday was another fun filled day for Blackfoot Pride Days. They have more things for the kids to do and also a lot of venders set up at Jensen's Grove( which is the lake at Blackfoot). The funnest thing that Chad and I like to go for is the Snow Machince Races on the Lake. Yes they really do drive their snow machines on the water. It is really fun to watch. They have a lot of them that sink because they let up on their gas. This year we were only able to go for about an hour and a half due to getting rain out. The snow machiners kept racing because they get wet anyways but we left because we were getting drenched. It is a really great time for families and tons of fun if you ever get a chance to go you should.
