This weekend we loaded up the clan for a fun festival filled day. It is hard not to have a good time when a fried funnel cake is involved. Everyone had a good time, but I think William and Caroline enjoyed it the most. It seemed every vendor had some type of treat for a child. William was a walking advertisement with his t-shirt full of campaign stickers from every political party. Caroline liked digging through the candy dishes. Anne-Marie got enough pencils for our entire family for the next 10 years. Alden rode (since he still isn't walking) happy in the stroller with his yellow blanket and even enjoyed a cat-nap. Elizabeth was the family highlight with everyone wanting to know how old she was. Jason enjoyed watching the senior citizens square dance. I have seen an old record player in a long time. The man even sang the motions..."Bow to your partner..." We ate some healthy carnival food: hot dogs, hamburgers, brats, and of course no festival would be complete without a funnel cake. Jason let the kids lick their fingers in the empty plate of confectioners sugar. I am sure the germs made it taste extra good. We finished the day with the baseball speed contest. The player received 2 throws of a baseball and then had to guess the speed of the third throw. Jason won a baseball, but William quickly took ownership of it. The only problem with a family our size attending a public festival is crowd control. I know understand why parents put leashes on their children.
