Fremont Fest 2012

Audrey and Kate decorated their bikes and headed down to Beaumont Village for the annual Fremont Fest yesterday. Unlike past years, they got down to the staging area to be in the bike and pet parade early; usually they're running late and have to jump into the parade from a side street after it starts. Honey and Honey Grandpa joined them there. Kate was able to pedal herself for a bit in the parade. When the parade ended, they parked their bikes and went to explore what was on offer. They got to paint a car and bounce a couple of times in a bounce house. They made a bracelet, checked out the brand new Grand Central Bakery that opened in the neighborhood a few weeks ago, and ate lots of treats. The thermometer hit 102 degrees, making it the hottest day in Portland so far this year. To stay cool, the girls had a snow cone, drank lots of water, and ran through misters some of the vendors had set up.
