Heath Village Family Day

Health Food
The whole crew before heading out for the festivities
There was a balloon guy with large shoes and a little air pump. He
could make just about anything, hats, crowns, dogs, spiders, swords. Some kid wanted a buffalo, "give me a minute" he said.

Every year in September Heath Village (where My Mom lives) has Family Day. This year we fielded a particularly large group. First and foremost there is tons of food. You wander around with your little armband and eat whatever and whatever amount you would like, sausage and peppers, corn dogs, hamburgers, bbq chicken and ribs, french fries, pizza, cole slaw and potato salad,and steamed clams. Then theres the hot dog stand and the hot pretzel and nacho table and the snow cone booth and the cotton candy. Did I mention the unlimited Good Humor truck? No it ain't health food but to kids (and lots of adults) its quite wonderful. Theres a moon walk and a whirly ride of some type and lots of games and crafts. Hunter won 17 prizes and was so happy with his stash of little rubbery, made in China animals with strange bodies bearing no resemblance to any actual living beast. Very fine day for all.

Jimmy is the official photographer, and was participating fully in the sampling of many mammal meats and sugar treats.
