I have been trying to get to this festival for about three or four years now. Every year, something comes up, and I just can’t seem to make it. Not this year. Nope. We made it there and had a grand time.

On arrival…….we were greeted with a free balloon which brightened up the Monsta instantly. Approximately two seconds after tying it on his wrist….this happened:

He felt a bit lost and sad without it but clenched on to Daddy’s hand to feel better.

The mood became much more relaxed after listening to this cool music:

I remember it was really HOT that day and Craig cooled off with a nice, cold beer. I passed on that because it wasn’t after 7pm.

I met up with a friend that was selling his pottery. Frank does phenomenal work and is also one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet. It was great to see him as I haven’t been back to the pottery studio since I was pregnant with David. I miss it terribly but can’t seem to find the time now. I throw a bit in my garage but have stacks of greenware waiting to be fired. One of these days…

As we were walking, Monsta caught glimpse of a BIG, Balloon house thingie that you can jump in. He was on a mission to get to it. He got there and climbed in quickly…

It also had this big slide attached. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Replenishing…

Oh yeah…this kid! He was there but he doesn’t make a peep. He is such an angel!

We were pretty tired by the end. I didn’t expect such a large crowd. I thought Ben wouldn’t even make it back to the car but he saw this gigantic tree and got a burst of energy.

That’s my boy!
