PORFD annual firemans picnic

On Saturday night we went to Pocahontas, where they had the PORFD fire mans picnic (Pocahontas old Ripley fire department). Jason and Loni are both on the department so that is why we go.

When we first got there it was raining, so we sat under the bingo tent where the 'one-ma-band' performed!

despite what you may think of these pictures, he was actually pretty good, and funny! We did request "if your happy and you know it", since it is one of Ry's fave fives these days!

In the above picture he is clapping to the song, he was just lovin' it. He was clapping and dancing the whole time. I think Ryan is officially his #1 fan

then it was dinner time, we had fried chicken, green beans, coleslaw, and french fries!


parade time, Ryan had a fun time with that, he got to see a huge elephant which he was so excited about since he loves all his animals. You would not believe the amount of people or parade workers who kept coming up and giving him candy and putting it on his tray. And poor Ry didn't get any of it, I had to keep taking it away from himMy parents also attended this event. They were just wonderful helping me watch Ry. Matt and I had to help with Bingo so we really needed help watching him. They let him run all around the monument in the middle of the park with all the other kids, they played games with him too. He even got a glow necklace.

Then there was Bingo. Jason was in charge of the Bingo so we helped them all night with collecting money and checking for a good Bingo. I learned that night that I was not a good Bingo attendant, I actually had complaints...Matt on the other hand had people worshiping the ground he walked on. His section loved him and mine hated me!

All in all, we had a great time. Ryan had so much fun, being able to run every where. They had another band that he loved to dance with too.
