Lumberjack Days

This past weekend was Orofino Lumberjack Days and what a busy weekend it was!

Braylon and Kaden kicked off the weekend by participating in the Kiddie Parade, Friday afternoon. The theme for this year was "Treasure Chest of County's Best" so, the boys decided they would like to be dressed as little nuggets of gold while being pulled in a wagon made to look like a treasure chest with lettering that said "Our Little Treasures". They were even able to talk mommy into dressing like a pirate and pulling the wagon. The boys are such sweet talkers that they recruited Paige to dress up as a pirate too and help throw candy for all the spectators. The boys were so excited that Braylon messed his pants so badly it was oozing out his jeans and Kaden fell fast asleep during the parade so his hat covered head just laid over to the side.

There was some stiff competition but the boys won first place in their division and were asked to participate in Saturday's "Big Parade". Along with a blue ribbon the boys each won five dollars, which they placed in their piggy banks.We were not sure if we would be able to make it in Saturday's parade because on our walk back from the Kiddie Parade the front axle and handle of the wagon fell off in the middle of the parking lot. Thank goodness the Baby Whisperer was there to rescue the boys by carrying both of them while mommy drug the wagon back to the tribune so daddy and papa could work on it.

After all of the parading the boys and the family enjoyed strolling around the carnival and looking at the exhibits, but what the boys like most was all of the attention. It felt as though we were amongst celebrities. Everywhere we went people would say from across the way, "Are those the twins?," "I have read so much about them," "I have seen pictures of them in the paper but I'm so excited to actually see them in person," "Oh, look it's the Tweets." Sometimes it took so long to get to where we were going we completely forget where we were headed to in the first place.

Along with all of the rides the boys enjoyed looking at the 4-H animals but we don't think they enjoyed the smell of the barn too much. They also ran into a few of their baby friends and took a photo-op with one of their girlfriends, Savonni, on an 810 pound pumpkin.

Although the boys really enjoyed the fair they were happy to return back to their normal schedule.
