School Picnic Time

We had a wonderful time at the St. Gabriel school picnic.  First, we went to donut drive-in on our way to the parade.  This is a great tradition that we have started.  And like last year, we saw Uncle Robbie and got a balloon before the parade started.  Then we found our spot and watched the beginning of the parade.

Bennett was thrilled by the parade

Once the last police car passed by, we packed up and walked to the other side of the park to watch the parade again. Once we got to the other side we were able to catch the beginning with the police car rolling by.  And Gabe learned a thing or two from Uncle Robbie on how to get the candy.

After the parade we made our way over to the rides.  We got our tickets and tried to figure out which ride we were going on first.  We ran into a few friends from the neighborhood and their kids.  It is always so much fun to catch up with everyone, even if it was in between rides.

Gabe went on the Merry Go Round first.  He was a little nervous when he got on there, but soon warmed up. 

Can't go on the rides, no worries I'll nap



After the Merry Go Round, we went to the Crazy School Bus.  It was crazy in the fact that only 1 side had windows and the other was sealed up plastic.  It was insanely hot in there.  However, I think Gabe had the most fun in there.  Just look that the joy on his face.

 

 

After the Crazy Bus we got in line for the motorcycles. 

 

Since Bennett was still sleeping and the heat and fun was slowing Gabe down.  This would be our last ride.  Gabe didn't fuss too much when it was time to leave.  We got some extra water in the school then headed to the car.  It was another great school picnic in the books.
