Tremont Turkey Festival

My mom came and visited us and we had such a fun time while she was here! Here are some of the things we did:
Bike Rides
Gardening
Picnic at Safety Town with Melissa and kids and Carrie
Made Rhubarb Lemonade
Riverside Farmer's Market
Tremont Turkey Festival (pictures below)
BBQ with Dietz Family
Church
Drive through old and new homes
Movie in the Park
A day in East Peoria (including the coin operated guns at Bass Pro Shop, Costco, and grocery shopping)

On Saturday, we went to the Tremont Turkey Festival. The highlight of the festival was a little something called Bed Races. Anyone could enter to race a bed. There were some requirements, including the size of the bed, the bed had to be fully made, there had to be 1 person riding on the bed, and there could be up to 4 pushers. There were four lines in the race. The starting line, then finish line, and the two lines in the middle was where the Chinese Fire Drill took place. They had to be between the lines the entire time they were doing the Chinese Fire Drill. It was a lot of fun!

Picasa has changed, and I haven't figured out how to put in an embedded slide show yet, so I'll have to put in the pictures individually...
