Our Friday night was one of those nights. You know… the kind when you’re having such a good time that you just know you’re right in the middle of making an amazing memory.
Those kinds of memories are the ones I like to revisit for years to come.
Michael’s work puts on this “Family Festival” at the end of every summer. I always bring my big camera and never really take any pictures, so this year, I left it at home. Well, apparently we just needed our oldest daughter to grow up a little bit, because she was so involved in everything… and I wanted to take her picture doing it all. So… all I have for you today are some nice phone photos. Whoops. (Really though, it is hard to use a DSLR when you’re wearing a baby on your chest, too, so it might not have worked out so well anyway…)
We met up with Ben, Brittany, and Caroline! We can always count on Kaya to push their stroller around.
There were so many good treats at this mini festival. After some hotdogs and hamburgers, there were snowcones, cotton candy, and ice cream!
We waited in line for balloon animals for quite a while, but I knew it would be worth it once Kaya saw what was going on. I requested a horse for her, and her whole face lit up with joy. For me, there is no better prize than that.
Balloon horses have to gallop on Daddy’s head, obviously. 🙂
This might have been my second stick of cotton candy… So obviously I had to do some kind of crazy dance. #YOLO 
Kaya went down this inflatable slide as much as we would let her! I think Michael had just as much fun as she did.
MIchael and Kaya danced to some live bluegrass music, and then she requested a photo with this giant cow in the center of the square.
The end of the evening was a little bittersweet, since this was our last hurrah with Ben and Brittany before their move to Texas. We are already missing our sweet friends.
Happy Monday! How was your weekend?
