Photo 157 - Kids Safety Fair

This was an unexpected surprise day. After swimming lessons, we walked out to find that the YMCA was being decorated for an event free to the public. It was kids safety fair and there were a lot of different booths for kids to visit, free activities, free food, and lots and lots of give-a-ways. After some debating with Short Person, she decided she wanted to participate. So, we put our swimming stuff in the car and went back to visit the booths.

There were dogs from Search and Rescue. Piggy Banks you could decorate. Computer games you could play. A fire engine to tour. Tennis to play. Wheels to spin and win prizes. The dreaded PGE "Learn About Electricity" demonstration, where I got to learn about Shortie's fear of being zapped. Even a free t-shirt that the kids got to color with permanent markers. And much, much more.

At the end, I had more than I could carry comfortably. Luckily, they gave us a bigger bag on the way out-- and a pair of $40.00 warm up pants from Nike!! Wow.

This one was being run by Home Depot. Each child could make a miniature planter, which came complete with seeds.



Face Painting. Another favorite.
