Yesterday Marty was off so we headed down to River Days. River Days is a weekend long festival that started in 1958 (or so.) This year there was a riverboat we could ride, a canoe ride, a bunch of tents with cool stuff for the kids, antique tractors, a Revolutionary War encampment reenactment, a battle reenactment, concerts, a skateboarding competition, a Native American wedding ceremony (yes, it was a real wedding) ... and a ton more. 
This was cool! There was a bagpipe band (is that what they are called??) there also.

Excited AlexChristian is getting too good at hiding from the camera. I will have to snap some of him soon.
One of the displays there was Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. I found out that they have a program where a family can "adopt" a kid. They require that you meet the kids at least 3 times a month, and just do normal "family" things, like hiking, bowling, movie night, having them over for a BBQ, etc.
We have been looking for something for the boys to get involved with, and we think this might be it. I'll let you know.

Nice pics, Krista! The "band" was called Fife and Drum. Looks like it was a great day. And very educational. lol
