Hyde Park Street Fair 2011

This weekend was the Hyde Park Street Fair (HPSF). They started a new event this year which was a parade down 13th Street. Johnny and I took the kids down to see the parade and walk through the fair. Before the parade we listen to an African Drum Band. (Note: We have seen them several times at the Saturday Market but I can't remember what the Bands name is). They had a bunch of instruments out for the kids to play with. Below are pictures of the kids playing with the instruments.

At the HPSF they also have a Children Area with all sorts of stuff. We let Pennington go on each of the bouncy houses. Johnny took Piper down a huge bouncy house slide. She enjoyed it. Below are pictures of Pennington in the bouncy houses climbing up ladders and sliding down the slide.

The parade was okay. The Boise High School band was in it and then other people promoting their political agendas. The kids thought it was interesting but honestly it wasn't that cool. Maybe next year it will be better.

Since Johnny has been working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings we weren't able to go down to the HPSF in the evening to listen to the fabulous music. I just keep telling myself that two years from now things will be different and we will hopefully be able to spend lots of quality time on the weekends together. Thank you Johnny for taking one for the team and working evenings and weekends so I can continue to work and the kids don't have to be in childcare all the time. I love you.
