Barnum Festival Parade
We attended the Barnum Festival’s Great Street Parade earlier today. We got a front row spot and enjoyed the creative floats, giant character balloons, marching bands and more. Our 2yo demanded “more horns and drums.” Photo highlights:
A giant dog balloon and a very tall patriot on stilts.
The famous Ronald McDonald.
Cars sized just right for our 2yo.
A paper mache Popeye.
And for some reason, Darth Vader was there along with the gang: storm troopers, Boba Fett and Princess Leia.
Making Friends at Trumbull Day
We took advantage of the sunny weather this weekend and enjoyed a Saturday afternoon at Trumbull Day. Rides, wild animals, games, good food – what’s not to like? Can you spot my 2yo and I shaking hands with a new (and very tall) friend? Hope you enjoyed this glorious weather!
