Neighborhood Annual Picnic

Every year, our subdivision has a picnic in the park area at the back of the neighborhood. We didn't go last year because Ben was really too young to do any of the activities. This year they were having pony rides, balloon animals, moonwalks, etc...so we thought he might be able to at least do a few things. The weather was really hot and humid, but at least the rain from this morning had stopped. We enjoyed some food and had a fun time!

They had two cute miniature horses for the kids to ride. I wasn't sure if they would let Ben ride one, but they said he could. Curt held Ben from the side just to make sure he didn't slip off.

Ben enjoying his ride. He loved it and they let him go around the circle for another turn because no one else was waiting for a ride.

Ride 'um cowboy!

They had a couple people there that were making really cool balloon animals, balls, swords, etc...They suggested a little turtle bracelet for Ben, so that he could put it on his wrist. He was excited when we put it on. He kept staring at it and tried to be really careful with it when he played on the swing set.
