National Night Out

Two years ago we attended the National Night Out event in Lewisburg for the first time, and today was our third time attending it. Our fire department has a MUCH smaller event, but we drive to Lewisburg for theirs instead. Everything including all the food is free (Domino's pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, snow cones, bottled water, raspberry shortcakes, cookies, chips, cotton candy, etc.). Some of the favorite activities included the zip line (Nadia's third year doing it and Oliver's first), the inflatables (only the boys did them), going up 55 feet high with the electric company (only Nadia did that), watching Ronald McDonald's magic show (Nadia participated in one part), face painting, and swimming in the pool. Nadia went down the water slides and jumped off the diving board in that pool for the first time this evening. I apologize that the video of Nadia on the zip line is sideways. I am still learning how to use my new phone. If the kids were older, we would have stayed a little longer to see the fireworks from 9:00-9:30. Because of this event they cancelled their swim lessons this morning. This meant that Paul was able to take Nadia and Ian for one last movie for the summer. They saw the Lego movie. We spent a grand total of $10 on movie tickets this summer which paid for Paul, Nadia, and Ian to see three movies and Oliver to see one. It was Nadia's first time seeing the Lego movie and Ian's second time.




While they were at the movie, I took Oliver to two playgrounds (exercise for me plus I tried to get some birthday pictures of him). I also did Oliver's 3 year birthday interview today (I know it's three days early but it's close enough in my opinion). As a frame of reference, here is Oliver's interview from 6 months ago, Ian's 3 year old birthday interview, and Nadia's 3 year old birthday interview. I think this is a record for me that I am including four videos in this post (plus links to three older videos). Some of them are only 13 seconds long so it won't take long to watch them. Enjoy!
