Free bbq, icecream and fireworks? Sounds good to us and so we went to the city of Tigard’s family festival for an evening of fun. The celebration was behind our favorite library, so we stopped in to refresh our book supply while Jasmine got some computer time with a Dora explorer game.

We headed outside to setup our chairs and waited in line for the bbq hotdogs and hamburgers. Then we ate way to many icecream treats and popsicles. In fact, there many kids with sugar highs running around including our own Jasmine. The event planners were on the job though, handing out kids toys like hula hops, airplanes, and games to keep everyone entertained. Once the sky darkened, a wonderful fireworks show launched.
