Celebrate Youth Festival

In Rexburg they throw a huge community party the day before school starts for the whole city...it is so much fun and everything is free:) They had a fish pond, ping-pong toss, face painting, cotton candy, climbing wall, etc. This is Gabe playing life-sized operation - he successfully got the 'adam's apple' (with a little help from mommy)
This is Gabe and daddy choosing the free books for the boys - all children receive a free book, Gabe got 'Big Brother, Little Brother' and Kent got a collection of Aesop's Fables.
This is the fam enjoying free dinner and entertainment
The national gaurd landed a HUGE army helicopeter in the middle of the park and let all the kids sit in it and get pictures - Gabe was so excited!
Rexburg just got a new fire truck and they were showing it off at the park - Gabe LOVED playing in the water it sprays!

How fun!! I love the life size operation game!! I just might have to steal that idea for a Birthday party or something! Too cute!

That's so cool Rexburg puts on fun events like that. I'm sure the kids look forward to it every year...what a fun tradition!!

The helicopter looks way cool!
