Celebrate Youth is a festival in Porter Park every year on the day before school starts. There are lots of games, free food, prizes, and bounce houses. Here is how we spent the day before school starts.

We got to the park a little early and played in the Spray Park.

Then took a ride on the Carousel.

Then we tried out the various bounce houses.

They tried Super Twister- it didn’t go so well.

After that we needed some ice cream to cool down. And we picked up some popcorn and cotton candy too.

We played lots of games and the kids picked up lots of (cheap) prizes. Here they are making large bubbles.

After all of that we were hot and tired and ready to go home. The festival goes until 9, but we can only take so much celebrating. We will have pizza for dinner and then it’ s time to get everything ready for the first day of school. The kids are excited but I think I’m a little bit more excited then they are.
