Celebrate Youth

This year we got to participate for the first time in the "Celebrate Youth" program here in town. I didn't know this was something they did every year and we were excited to go check it out. We'll defiantly have to give ourselves more time next year so we can do more of everything. The kids had a great time doing all of the activities and collecting goodies. We were hoping it hit up the bouncy house but they closed it down earlier than we thought they would so we missed out on getting a chance to climb in. Next year we'll do better. This program is for all of the youth in the Madison and Fremont school district boundaries. It's almost a kick of to school program and local community organizations come out to tell the community that they are here and how they can help. Then they have a huge raffle and dance for the older kids at the end. I wish we had known about it in previous years. It's a lot of fun to be a part of a smaller community that puts on events like this for free so the kids can just enjoy being out while getting to do something different from our daily routine. Below are some pictures of the fun activities they got to participate in.

Colby and Riann had to toss their fishing poles over the curtain to "catch" a prize.

In this one they had to scoop up the ducks, I think they got to pick two, and whatever number was on the bottom of their duck was the number of prizes they got to pick out. I think this was Colby's favorite, he went back numerous time to pick up more ducks, even though he didn't get more prizes, and he was very excited about his "bracelets".

They gave the kids milk with their "sack dinner" and Colby LOVED his chocolate milk. He hasn't been able to drink it very often because he has a similar chocolate allergy to what Riann had but we can give it to him in small doses and he was in heaven tonight!!!
