Family Fun Festival

Yesterday Jason left for DC with a group from our church to attend a building seminar. He won't be back until this evening. So it's been just me and the kiddos for 2 days. We did have a pull-out couch party last night, but it wasn't quite as lively as some of our other ones have been. I was tired! But we did make cookie popsicles and watch movies on the pull-out. The kids went to bed around 11pm and woke up around 7:30am. Then this morning there was a Family Fun Festival at Daniel's school. We will be resting this afternoon. :) The festival was a lot of fun....and best of all it was COMPLETELY free!! They even fed us pizza, icecream, and cake! Of course we drove up only to see this right at the entrance....
I really didn't know if we'd make it to anything else. But eventually we did. They had a little station set up for the kids to pet a turtle and a frog...

They had lots of different stations set up where kids could color different things....

They had different stations for the kids to play with toys...

And they had games the kids could play to win prizes...

This was another petting zoo like station. They had a little lamb, little ducklings, and little 3 day old pigs. Here's Daniel petting the little baby pig...

Then we sat down to eat some pizza...

And of course cake and icecream followed...

Here they are at a little playdough station...

There were so many other things the kids got to make, but I of course didn't get a picture of everything. Austin as always was into everything. One of the things the kids made was a mouthful of teeth and a toothbrush out of baby marshmallows. Austin dumped out all the marshmallows.....and dug his hands in the little stick on letters the kids were using to write their names on the toothbrushes. He really was pretty good most of the time, but towards the end he got a little bored and resorted to these kind of acts for entertainment I'm assuming. It was a lot of fun watching the kids. And of course we came home with 3 bags full of things they made and colored and prizes they won. Fun day...and again FREE! I was very pleased. It was a great way to entertain the kiddos especially while Jason was out of town. Ok...so that's all for now. It's time to put an end to the 3 beach balls flying around my living room and take a little nap! :) Happy Saturday!!
