J had Sat., Sun., and Monday off and we had so much fun. Saturday morning we got up early and J's dad came over and we all drove up to Camp Awana where Aunt Liz and Grandma were. I have never been there before and of course neither have the kids. There was so much fun things to do there the kids didn't want to leave. We had lunch there and then went into town for some ice cream. We got home from camp around 5pm and went to Subway for dinner no one felt like cooking :) Then Sunday we went to S.S and church came home and eat lunch real quick then headed over to the Festival. What a blast that was. The kids got wristbands to ride all the rides they wanted. This year GG was barely big enough to go down the Big slide by herself and the guy almost didn't let her go down which would of been no fun. But she went down that about 10 times and Monkey went with either J or I and it was great! They also went on the dragon roller coaster about 5 times and each of the other rides either once or twice. We were there for about 3 hours!!! We also went on the ferris wheel and I don't like that ride at all but J talked me into going on it again this year. Monkey got in trouble from one of the workers there, he took his belt off during the ride and the guy had to stop the ride to put it back on him, he told both Monkey and I if he took it off again he couldn't ride anymore. The worst part was that the guy knew he was related to a police officer because of the wristband, he called it the VIP band. Needless to say Monkey didn't take it off again but he did cry for about the first minute of the ride after that. We came home and ate a really late dinner and put the kids to bed. Both kids feel asleep in a matter of seconds after their head hit the pillow. So that was Sunday and then Monday the kids and I got up and met J at the parade. He was working it and had saved us a parking spot right where he was located. I love having that kind of privilege, it's nice. Then we went to our friends Matt and Sara's for a bbq. There were so many kids there it was a lot of fun for GG and Monkey and we had fun too. Then we went to the fireworks, which J also worked. The officers roped off parking for everyone at the bbq so we didn't have to look for parking so nice. We watched the fireworks and then came home. Today we got up and went grocery shopping, came home ate lunch and then the kids went to their sports class. They did bowling today. When we got home the two older had quiet time for a half an hour then GG made a bead necklace and Monkey colored then got out his train tracks so I thought I would update real quick while they were occupied but now I need to go make dinner. Tomorrow we have a playdate with GG's friend from school Alina so that will be fun!
