Founders Day

Every year our City of Maricopa, celebrates it's "birth" by having a founders day celebration. Our little city started out as a small town many years ago. Five years ago, due to all of the growth, it became a city and these celebrations have gotten bigger over the years. Saturday was this years and there were 9000 people there! It was amazing and despite the wind and the chill in the air, we had a lot of fun! I didn't take too many pictures cause I was busy looking at everything there. Here are a few from the day. Savannah was with us for Saturday also. We were going to come back later that evening to see the band Lifehouse and see the fireworks display, but it really got too cold so we decided not to do that. I heard they were really great though!

They had a balloon lightsaber made and were having lightsaber fights. Look at all the people in the background.

Jacob's lightsaber broke and boy was he mad!

In this picture he's yelling at Cole for making his lightsaber break and Cole is taunting him. Um, it's a balloon Jacob! :) Savannah thinks they're nuts!

Here's our little cowboy again. This was after the lightsaber incident, so it put him in a happy mood again. He was sad this saddle wasn't attached to a real horse. :)

I am glad you guys had fun. We have never been to a founders day. Austin's birthday or our anniversary are always in the way of that. By the way the Twilight tickets I bought at the Hawkins at Chanlder Mall for the 7:00 showing.
