Town Gone Wild

Last night was the annual Fireman's Parade in our town. Also, the annual Carnival comes. Needless to say, it is a free for all regarding the kids. We had plans to meet our friends at their house for dinner and then walk down to the parade. The friend's house we were going to is Husband's best friend for years. So of course our kids feel that their house is our house. Big Son and Little Son both told their friends to meet them at Husband's friends house. Husband's friend is someome who races with us and also has kids who are 7 and 4. Basically it is like having extended nieces and nephews. My kid's friend's showed up at Husband's friend's house and his kids LOVED IT. It was like any kids dream. They love Big and Little Son and BOUNS, friends show up. Pizza was eaten and then the walk down into town. Big Son and Little Son, along with their friends, hung out with Husband's friends kids. Cute because the older kids held hands with the little kids. Promises were made to go on rides at the carnival during the weekend. Husband's friend's kids felt important....until we got to town. My boys gave their goodbyes to the group we meet up with and then.... gone with friends.

I just left them off at the Carnival for the night. Big Son told me that he promised his twin cousins to go on two rides with them and play one game with them. Little Son said that the twins could come with him and his friends to walk around. Cool. Isn't that what family is about? Here are 14 and 12 year old telling their little cousins that they will be with them and take care of them. Makes me proud as a mother.
