Burke Centre Festival

This past weekend was the Burke Centre Festival. One of the best things about this festival is that we can walk to it!!!! This year Nana, Grandad, May-Me, and Jack were here visiting and were able to go with us. It turned out to be a nice weekend since the rain had finally stopped.


First up, the train ride. We remembered how long the line was for the train last year so we got there first thing and were able to ride it right away.

Jack and Kylee were excited about riding the horses. Ryland didn't quite know what we were in line for but he seemed to like the ride once he got on. Ryland took a ride on Creamsicle, Jack rode Sugar (which was the "big horse" not one of the ponies), and Kylee got a ride from Toby.

Jack gave the rope bridge sponsored by the Boy Scouts a try too. He did a great job and made it all the way across!

There was a mini ferris wheel there too. Kylee wasn't "in the mood" for the ride at the time so it was just the boys. Turns out that a cage with a locked door was the perfect place for Ryland! Ha! : )

Jack was also big enough to try out the rock wall. I think he was most looking forward to the repel down when he was done climbing.

The boys took a tour inside an ambulance and everyone got some new fire hats while we were there.

Ryland's favorite part was the police car. He loved sitting in the driver's seat but everyone also took a turn in the back seat ... let's hope this is the one and only time that happens!?!?!

While Nana was here visiting we also got some baking in. Her and Kylee made a batch of Mrs. G's cookies ... yum! (I am still reaping the benefits from this adventure!) : )
