Saturday in downtown Overland Park, just a few blocks from where we live, they were having a fall art festival! Saturday morning at 10am they were having a parade too, and I really wanted to take the kids. I figured at least Brodie would enjoy the parade, get some candy, and just love being outside.
Since we're just a few blocks from where the parade was ending and from the festival itself, we just loaded up the double stroller and walked there! It was really nice! The weather was nice too.
We walked to find a nice shaded spot on the side of the street. Thank goodness we live just down the street, there were people all up and down the street as well as cars packed in parking lots and down side streets!
Before the parade started Brodie was getting a little restless so Ben took him out of the stroller so he could walk around. Then the parade started and we had to put him back in the stroller-which he was not happy about. So we unbuckled him but let him play with the buckles. However, once the parade started he was too intrigued with what was going on than to play with the buckles. :)
After awhile of watching the parade, you could tell Brodie was just getting tired and fussy. So we decided to start walking towards the festivities. It took awhile to get to the area because of all the people!
Here are a couple pictures of the kids while watching the parade:
While at the festival, we walked around a lot seeing what kind of vendors and foods were there. Brodie got a Jr. Firefighter hat and sticker and ate some Chinese food. Ben was walking around with the kids in the stroller and I was off looking at cute little girl things. I found THE cutest KU onesie and wanted to get it for Nomi so bad!! When Ben and the kids came back around I showed Ben and told him I wanted to get it and he said I could! :) It's a 3-6 months and I cannot wait to put Naomi in it!
Also, Saturday was the last day for this huge kid's consignment sale in Olathe-just down the street from Ben's shop. So, I loaded up the kids Saturday afternoon and we headed to the sale. It was also their 1/2 price sale! As we pull up and park, it all of a sudden just starts pouring down rain. So here I am, trying to get the stroller out as fast I could, then load Nomi up and cover her and then load Brodie up. haha, I'm sure I looked ridiculous running around then running to the front with this huge double stroller! haha :)
I got Brodie and Naomi quite a few things! Brodie got a couple sweaters, a pair of jammie's, and seven pairs of pants! He needed some as the ones he had were too small. Naomi got a couple outfits too. Then I found this cute picture for Naomi and just had to get it. And since I got her something that wasn't clothes, had to find Bro something that wasn't clothes too :)
Here are pictures of the kids' non-clothing finds, as well as the bag full of clothes!
Then, after we got home we had to go grocery shopping. So, again, we loaded the kids and off we went. However, it didn't last too long because mid-shopping Brodie started throwing a fit. He just wanted to run around in the store! So, he and I went in the car and waited for Dad and Nom's to check out. Needless to say, we had pizza that night. haha :)
But, here's a couple pictures of Brodie before he started throwing a fit. :)
So that was our Saturday. Pretty fun!! Can't wait for this Saturday! It's the American Royal BBQ this weekend. Yum yum :)
