KidFest 2012

KidFest was this weekend so we went on May, 28th. It's in celebration of Memorial Day. Along with the kid festivities there was a short Memorial Day show on the main stage with the presentation of the flag, some songs, Pledge of Allegiance and each branch of the military being recognized. I'm a little bummed the rides were so expensive. The kids only got to go on a couple rides each. I wasn't about to break the bank for just a few rides. There was a shark exhibit/show, but the pictures I got had a glare on the glass and it was too hard to make out what was in the images. On the way to the shark show we saw a little bit of a BMX demonstration. I told the kids not to get any ideas, that they had lots of practice and this was NOT something they would be practicing at home. It was hot, we didn't have enough to eat, but the kids had fun and that's all the matters. And we got a large bag of kettle corn. Yup, it was yummy. 

Jacob finally got to meet one of his childhood heroes, Sponge Bob Squarepants. He wasn't as excited as his dad and I were. He was actually a little nervous, okay a lot nervous, but sufficed his mama and took a picture with the character.

I really don't know if there is a ride made fast enough to be too fast for Shyla. This girl LOVES fast and spinny rides. I used to love spinny rides, but something about my age has made me feel like puking just thinking about them. This one didn't spin too much, but was more tilting and going up and down. It's a little hard to see in the picture, but she was having a GREAT TIME!

Until next year...
