Silverdale Whaling Days

One of my favorite things about small towns is their annual festivals. The last weekend in July is the famous Whaling Days in good old Silverdale. We had a fun filled busy day taking in all the exciting events!

There's nothing like kicking off a festival with the Kiwanis pancake breakfast! Camden and Emma loved eating their breakfast outside!
Chris was warming up for A Whale of a Run 4-mile run while we pigged out on our pancakes. Emma did help lead him in some stretches after breakfast.

What an awesome finish, Chris!! Just over 30 minutes!
All the runners barely crossed the finish line before the parade started. Here are the kids and I ready for the bands and floats!Is this the cutest little American you've ever seen? Emma honors the flag as it passes by.
Camden loved the motorcycles and the bands
After our busy morning, we took a little break and went back to the carnival downtown this evening. Emma was a little skeptical at first about the ferris wheel, but she ended up loving it!
