Ladner May Days

We headed out to Ladner today (or the boonies, as I like to call it) to visit with good friends of ours, Nicole and Colin (who we've been friends with since our dating days!).  It just so happened to be the weekend of Ladner May Days - yay!  I've never been, but any time there is an event that has no admission cost that offers free activities for the kids, I'm usually game to go!

Ladner May Days are AWESOME.  It was so much fun.  The kids had a blast getting their face painted...

 

...riding paddle boats...

...petting the animals at the petting zoo...

 

...riding a pony...

...bouncing on the gymnastics trampolines...

...and trying out curling, all for free!  

(Jon and Colin had to try too!)

We did buy some mini donuts and cotton candy (how can you not, when you're at a fair?!?) and we did let the kids play one carnival game (pick a duck and win a prize), but the rest was free.  

Matthew and Kayla did ask to go on some of the rides, but we didn't let them.  We let them watch others do the rides though!
