Kids have fun at Flaming Gorge Days

Kids had a blast with the various types of entertainment at Festival in the Park during Flaming Gorge Days.

More than a dozen kids were keeping cool while screaming and running through the Splash Park. Some stood under buckets of water waiting for the water to drop on their heads, while others ran through shots of water coming up from the ground.

Many of the children and families present were brought out by the Three-on-Three Basketball Tournament. One McKinnon resident said if it were not for Flaming Gorge Days and the basketball tournament, their family would be playing outside on their ranch.

Lots of kids were competing in basketball games while their siblings played on park equipment because they were tired of watching basketball.

There were several kids who were wearing jerseys checking out the booths set up for Festival in the Park. They were picking out snacks and drinks in between their basketball games.

Kettle corn seemed to be a popular choice. Other kids ate flavored shaved ice out of coconuts.

Two girls looked through the face paint design options, while they waited for their turn as another girl was getting a henna tattoo on her arm.

Kids also played on the inflatable bounce houses and castles. Lines were full of children waiting for their turn.

One of the inflatable houses ended with a slide. The kids tumbled down the slide with wide eyes and big smiles on their faces.
