Fun with Ben

While waiting for the light parade to start, we bought these lighty-spinny things to occupy the kids. It worked on Ben for a while (top photo), then he started running out of steam (middle photo, with Ty). Finally, I had to hoist him onto my shoulders (where he attempted to eat my hair!) He completely melted down by the time the parade came by at 8:15, so Tyler and I took him away from the crowds to try to calm him while Katie and Daddy watched the parade. Katie was quite tickled that all the characters seemed to be waving at her!
