Renton River Days- Kids' Day

July 23rd was kid's day at Renton River Days , so mom took the day off and headed with the boys down to Liberty Park for the festivities.

Maybe next year? Jonah could barely peek over the "Coal Miner Cutout". This was part of the Renton Historical Museum booth. Renton started out as a mining town, thus "Coal Creek".

Jonah got to make his own toy, tie -dye a bandana, enter a coloring contest as well as play lots of kid- carnival type games.

Of course a highlight from last year was the Renton Fire Department, and Jonah was pretty excited to be in the drivers seat this year.

Waiting for his turn.

He was so excited to play.

Seriously, he could not stay away.

We headed to Jones park to play and then Common Grounds, a downtown Renton cupcake shop for an afternoon treat.

Needless to say, it is a family friendly place and our chocolate mint mini cupcakes were not bad...

The pile of exhaustion at the end of the day...it was fun!
