Buddies at the Children's Festival




We met Jacob and his mom, Susan, at their house this morning. We piled into one car and headed downtown to the Children's Festival. Collin and I went last year and he had a great time. I knew it was going to be a hot one so I was glad we headed out early. The guys seemed to have a good time. The first stop was at the guy making animals out of balloons. Jake wanted a dragon and Collin wanted a horse (really? a horse? I don't hear him talking about horses much). Next, we stopped to pet the snake. Collin was nervous at first but then stood there petting the snake the longest. Next, the boys played at the toddler batting cage. Collin did really well. He hit it straight at it hit the back of the net every time. They both wanted to ride in the boat on the bayou but the tickets were sold out. We thought we make them happy by saying the boat was not working anymore until Collin stood there waiting for it. When he spotted it, he became this toddler with an attitude. I finally had to pick him up because he was not going to come with me. We then sat and watched two performances while the boys ate a sucker. It was getting time to eat lunch and just too hot outside so we left. Both times we past the urinals, Collin wanted to go inside because he knew there was a urinal in there. He loves using these....and he actually had to go.
The boys were a little rowdy at lunch so it was hard for the mommies to enjoy their meal. We knew it was because they were tired. We were in the car about 5 minutes before Collin fell asleep and 10 minutes for Jake. Collin woke up when I transferred him to my car and did not fall asleep in the car or when we got home. Darn! He did not even go to bed early. I bet he will be tired tomorrow.
