Family Fun Day

Springfield has been great lately about hosting community events like the movies on the hill and the dining on Saxer. The latest and greatest was Family Fun Day! The whole thing took place in the area by the Township building right at the end of our street! How convenient! There were tons of local vendors selling food and other items, a band, horse and pony riding, face painting, etc. Sam was super excited and so were we. It had been so rainy for days, and on Family Fun Day it was sunny and beautiful.
One of the first vendors Samantha stopped at was someone who hand knitted a bunch of things. The usual, like hats and such, but also these cute puppets and cat toys. It didn’t take Sam long to talk Mark into buying her some things. We wound up spending more money than anticipated…Sam later talked me into buying a knitted bear and some dolls clothes from another vendor.
The firehouse had one of the engines there for the kids to explore. All the tool doors were open and the kids could even climb inside.
Here’s Sam with a police dog. 😉
After a long wait, Sam finally got her turn to ride one of the horses! She looks like a natural and wasn’t scared at all at how high up she is.
We moved on to face painting and Sam chose a pumpkin. Super cute!
Sam saw lots of friends there from school but she was most excited to see Julia!
Our last stop before going home was the photo booth. As you can see, we all had a great time!
