We had hoped to arrive at the BYDEE Festival in time for the Big Wheel Races and the Karate demonstration, but Nish's nap ran late, so we too ran late and didn't make it to the festival until the very end.
Nish loves vehicles of all kinds, and he was in awe of the fire truck and the police cars.
We got in line for the train ride first, because the line was longish and it was getting late.
Nish loved it! The entire time he looked around him to see all the trucks and emergency vehicles. The view from the train was great!
In fact, Nish enjoyed the ride so much that he cried when it was over and time to get out.
We had hoped to get back for another ride, but there were a lot of other things to see.
Most of the activities were for older kids. There were arts and crafts projects and inflatables. The inflatables were split up, so there was one for small kids and one for bigger kids, but no one was supervising, so we decided it wasn't safe for our toddler.
Sadly, we were too late to get a caricature of Nish done, and we never did see any stilt walkers. But the live music performed by Inside Out Steel Band was fantastic.
We each enjoyed a slice of pizza while we listened to the music and watched the fire fighters take down the giant ladder on the fire truck.
Nish had a great time. The festival was just his size, peopled but not so crowded that he might get run over.
We'll definitely head back next year, and hopefully we'll arrive a little earlier, so we can see and do more. We'll see how Nish's nap schedule works out.
