The Yarmouth Clam Festival




Every year we have been meaning to go to this event, but have never made it due to weather or other plans. This was our year-so we packed up the van and headed north to Yarmouth to fight the crowds. We parked and took a shuttle bus to the festival and if you ask me that bus ride was Trevor's favorite part of the day (it was a school bus). When we arrived at the festival we headed straight for the carnival. Trevor's favorite ride was -you guessed it- the giant slide! Breanna even got a turn this time (of course I missed that picture). Trevor also had fun playing some games and he won 2 stuffed animals and a toy Yo-yo. Next we headed over to the food section for lunch. They had everything you could imagine, and the crowd was fierce. I had a lobster roll and Josh had clam chowder and lime Rickeys-they were delicious! We finally found a place to sit down and enjoyed our lunch. By then we were pretty much out of money, so we headed home. It would have been fun to browse the hundreds of craft fair booths, but it would have been too much with the kids. Maybe next year (we'll get a babisitter!). All in all it was a fun day, but we are pooped! Bringing three kids under 5 out and about in the crowds is ALOT of work!!
