This past weekend was the Ameren 2010 Safety Fair.
Every two years, (or from what I can tell, this is how often it occurs) Ameren holds a family day all about safety in conjunction with weveral area businesses. The WHOLE family was in attendance. Since Grandpa works for Ameren and and Grandma were there and we took Omi and Grumpy with us. Grumpy got his picture taken with the boys and Louie the CFL. Garrison was not at all afraid of the giant costumed character, in fact from the pictures you can see how much he enjoyed it.
It was a day full of fun, food and freebies for all. Mommy, Omi and Emmett got to try Dippin' Dots ice cream for the first time--YUM! Emmett kept saying he was going to go for a ride in a bucket truck, but when he went to the 4th floor of the Ameren building in the glass elevator he decided heights weren't his thing. He did want to take a ride in the electric go-kart that the highway department had on display, but when we got in line their battery stopped working 2 people in front of us. He enjoyed watching the city and train demo by the Labadie guys Grandpa works with.
Everyone was tired at the end of the day, and Grandma still had to go help Aunt Kim get ready for her first homecoming! Emmett fell asleep on the way home in Omi and Grumpy's car, so he went to their house, where he kept on sleeping, so they took naps too, and they all would have stayed asleep if mommy hadn't called at 7:30 p.m. to see how they were doing. Mommy fell asleep at 8 o'clock right after Garrison did!
