Summer Fun - at the pool and the childrens festival

Kaylee and Levi have had a great weekend. We have been trying to do a lot of fun things to distract from Eric being out of town on business. Sat we spent the whole day at the pool with Aunt B and her boyfriend, and then later on two families from the neighborhood came over to swim (it was cold but they enjoyed the hot tub and then jumping in to the pool and back and forth…) We had a very nice lunch on the patio and then the neighbors had us over for dinner at night. I had the kids in bed by 10 – opps! At least they had looooong naps!

Then Sunday we went to the Children’s festival. Thanks so much to my parents who helped out a ton with the kiddos and gave them a good time at the festival. I couldn't have done it without them. I was able to sit and watch the block party performance with Kaylee whilst Levi who was antsy played with chalk with my parents. It  was so nice to be able to enjoy it. Thank you Mom and Dad!

They had so many fun things to do that we were able to experience at the festival:

Blocks for the childrens museum for climbing and ball fun

Butterfly garden

A dancing troupe dancing on blocks (huge foam ones)

They met Curious George

They ate from a Mac and Cheese truck – much to Kaylee’s adoration!

They had popsicles – yum

Played with hula hoops and ran around with flags

Saw a Native American pow wow dance

Got their hair done - were only able to enjoy the powwow by taking turns standing in line - thanks again Mom and Dad!!! Kaylee's favorite part was definately having her hair done and waiting in line that long would not have been fun for anyone! She still has her hair done 2 days later!!! :)

Got their faces painted

Kaylee got a henna tattoo at an Indian stand

All for free! Can you believe it?

Can’t wait for Eric to get home today. The kids are excited because I have a late meeting and they are getting picked up by the neighbor and their best friends. They can’t wait – the whole crew loves the novelty of it!
