Orem's Summerfest

One thing I really enjoy and will miss about living in Utah, is the fact that there is always some sort of festival going on in the summer. unlike back home in CA, you don't have to pay to park or even pay to get in. How nice is that? Today was really nice because instead of it being in the 80's or 90's, it was only in the 70's. Perfect weather to enjoy the crowds, and the amusement. Isaac had a great time looking at all the old cars. He likes to call them hot rods and/or race cars. He even makes the sound effects too. He also had fun climbing in old Army vehicles and sitting in a medical helicopter. Jim and I of course, love the food. We really like going to one of the Polynesian booths to get a plate lunch and then pick another miscellaneous booth to try out. This year the Caribbean booth made the cut. We enjoyed our food underneath the performer's tent where Isaac was having fun watching the tween girls sing and dance. I think the highlight of the day for me was watching Isaac ride the little kiddie rides. He thought he was so cool and had a blast. When he was riding the motorcycles, he kept making the noise to go with it. During the car ride, he kept shouting out "hot rod" and pointing to his car. He kept quiet with the boat ride but did ring the bell a few times before the kid in front of him took the string away. Isaac was very sad when his tickets ran out and it was time to go. He had such a great time and I am glad that we were able to go again this year before we move. Now we are keeping are fingers crossed that it doesn't rain tomorrow night for the end of the festival's fireworks show.
