The girls and I went to a children’s festival today. It was alot of walking and alot of sun. The girls were a little bit too young for most of the activities though, And the lines for the free things were insane. My oldest went into a bouncy castle for the first time today. She enjoyed herself until the bigger kids came and started bouncing super hard. Neither girl was too keen to wait in line for a free balloon animal or to have their face painted so we ended up skipping those things. We did manage to buy tickets for the a Rythm demonstration. It was fine until my youngest wanted to run amok. I ended up having my lemonade dumped on me and I was doused in grass clippings. Pretty much, it was horrible to sit on the floor and attempt to trap the girl in my arms while the demonstration was happening. Finally we were able to stand up and dance. Silly me, I thought I would put her on my shoulders and dance that way. Instantly, I became the drum on which she began to beat away on. My hair was destroyed and my head hurt. Finally it was over. Silly me. I handed off my glasses to the little on while I was strapping her into her stroller and she snapped off the arm. So, I left with a headache, messy hair and a broken pair of glasses. All in all it was stellar day.
Honestly, we all had a really good day. we munched on Fat Franks (hot dogs), licked tiger ice cream. We played in the park and swang on the swings. We have red noses and rosy cheeks. We are all tired. It was a good day all around. I am looking forward to next years festival. The girls will be that much older and they will be able to participate in so many more activites. It will be more fun than this year. But, I am happy we went and got a lay of the land for our next time out.
