HOT August Nights

The guys went out of town this weekend for a Master's Seminar in Tampa. That left Ashley and I with the kiddos and no plans for Friday night. We decided to head out to Hammond, they were celebrating Hot August Nights. It was an event in downtown Hammond with music, food, drinks and special events for the kids. We ate dinner at LaCarretta's. Avery discovered chips and dip, she also wiped out all of her rice and beans with grilled chicken.

 Our first stop after eating was the Fire Department set up. The kids got free hats and goodie bags.

 Drake LOVED the fire truck.

 He was amazed with how big it was!

 Our next stop was the Sip and Paint store. They had paper plate fans set out for the kids to decorate.

 Drake sneaking some love from Avery :)

 Artist hard at work

 Their beautiful masterpieces!

Our next stop was the Colombia Theater. PBS had a dinosaur exhibit with artifacts and one of the characters from Dinosaur Train. Drake had a great time with him!

 Avery, not so much!

 Our last stop was to listen to a band. Avery was pretty worn out by this time.

 We had a great night though. The mommy's picked up a few sale items at a little boutique, and we got to spend a great evening with our kiddos/
