Sweet Corn Days & church picnic

A few weeks ago we joined our friends at Lime Springs Sweet Corn Days after church.  We knew the kids would love a summer afternoon parade that is known for lots of candy - and of course the sweet corn and watermelon sounded good too.  

We arrived in town shortly before the parade started and found a good front row spot. 
The kids couldn't wait for the parade to start and once it did we had to keep reminding them to stay back in front of our spots rather than in front of the older people sitting next to us.  For some reason the candy was all being thrown closer to them! 
The kids ended up with a large back full of candy!  
and the daddy's were both pretty happy with their treat from the parade too - a can of beer (or 2 for Chad).  I will say I've never been to a parade that hands out free beer!
We then went on a hunt for the free sweet corn and watermelon.  
and ran into free ice cream too!  And a jumpy house to play in!
Then it was time to head home, but not without a walk through (what was left) of the car show.  Isaiah was pretty impressed with the brand new bright red Corvette.
We made it back in town just in time to make it to our church picnic.  More free food - fried chicken and fun at the park!
And of course we had to go find the geocache that was at the park we were at. 
The kids had lots of fun running around the baseball diamonds while the daddy's looked.
What a summer day full of fun!
