Bear Paw Festival

This weekend is the Bear Paw Festival in Eagle River. We went Friday for some fun activities and rides. You can read about those with the pictures. Then Saturday our church opened the grounds to the community for free parking. We also had a bounce house, free hot dogs, crafts, and face painting. We might go back this afternoon for the ice cream eating contest and to watch the Smith's in the 300 yard marathon!



We went tot the Teddy Bear Picnic on Friday, There was free food and lots of fun stuff to do!



Jared and Jadyn participated in the Lunch Box Derby. They had to make a car out of vegetables and race it down a ramp. This was Jared's car at the end of the race. He made it off the ramp. Jadyn did not. The winner went 15 feet, wow!



Justin just wanted to suck the helium out of the balloon. I told him NO, but he didn't listen.

Jared wouldn't ride. He said it was too big! He told Jadyn she would die. When we got to the top she was laughing and said, "I'm not gonna die, YEA!!"
