the one thing we did this weekend

Our town has a nice, 3 day festival every year around the fourth of July.  We usually try to go and see the vendors and the pioneer camp.  And, the fireworks are easily seen from our house. 

This year, the weather was hot, mixed with daily severe weather.  The fireworks were cancelled due to the dry conditions.  And, Ewan wasn't feeling well (turns out, he had an ear infection-found out Monday).

So, the only thing we made it to was one of the last things-a free family festival at a local church.  I was drawn in by the word "free" and the promise of a bounce house.

We were not disappointed.
Liam played in this bounce house that even had a ladder to slide down.  He kept coming back again and again.  I finally pulled him away when I heard the monitor tell him "one more time".  It was time to do something else, after all.

Ewan jumped here, too.

Kella did not enjoy being restrained in her stroller.

Cale, Marcus and Ewan all had fun on the obstacle course.

Marcus and his friend did the bungee run thing. (you can see his head popping up in the background)

They also had games to play for trinkets.  All the boys liked those.  They also had free drinks and hot dogs.  So nice!  I'm glad we had the chance to go.  It got the boys out of the house and gave them a chance to run off some energy.  They must have saved some, though, because after we got back home, they ran around some more and played in the little pool.
