Mayfest - 2010

Well I forgot to tell everyone how Mayfest went, so here are some photos. There were a lot more, but I didn't want to take up too much space, so here were some of the highlights. :-D It was such a BEAUTIFUL day, and the weather was perfect. It was sunny but cool, so we could wear long sleeves without sweating. I was so glad we waited to go until Saturday.

First we went to the Craft Fair, and we didn't find much to buy... I got ideas on prices for necklaces, though. I never really know what to price my necklaces as, but going to craft fairs always gives me an idea on the price. Then we happened to find a Scooby-Doo denim skirt for Tricity. It was a regular blue jean skirt that someone sewed a tie-dye looking ruffle on it, with a Scooby-Doo print. It was only $5 and you KNOW we had to get it. Adam was excited, being the big Scooby-Doo fan that he is :-) lol

Then we went to the 'sand art' booth, and we let Tricity pick out what she wanted to do. She picked the elephant, and I helped her fill it up with the sand. She scooped, and I held the funnel.

And then here she was showing off her work of art. I plan on hanging it on her shelves with her other special stuff.

From the craft fair, we walked on over to the rides. We were just going to play games, because later that day, she was going to come back to the carnival and ride rides with her cousins. Here she is picking up fish (they don't use ducks anymore, I guess?)

She played a lot of games and got about 3 stuffed animals as prizes. She also got a tiara, a sparkly baton, this dolphin, which was as tall as her, and this very noisy trumpet that Adam didn't want her to pick out, but I let her get it anyway  ;-)

For every game, she won a prize, whether she won the game or not. These carnival people were so nice. I remember when I was a kid, if you lost, you lost, but she always wins something :-)

After the games, we went to Pizza Hut. I guess it was my Mother's Day dinner? lol It was just a day early. (I also got two tomato plants, a new memory card for my camera, and rechargeable batteries. No surprises, just things I needed... :-( and then we went over to my moms and they cooked for us. That was the best part :-D but anyway-) Here is Tricity drawing on the place-mat (and the table) at Pizza Hut:

We went back to the rides later that evening and teamed up with my brother Tommy and his wife Mary, and they had Jolie and Khloe (Devin stayed home with Grandma). Here was Tric and Jolie on the planes. Man, did she look serious or what? She actually started crying after this, because she thought she was going to fall when the plane would rise and drop...

After that, they rode in a car together, and she really started to cheer up after this and enjoy the rides. She was still too little for the swings, the tilt-a-whirl, the ferris-wheel and stuff like that, but at least they had quite a few rides for the little kids :-)

Then they rode these bucket things, and man... Khloe LOVED them and did NOT want to get off!

After that, they got on the carousel. Jolie and Khloe sat on horses next to each other with Mary holding Khloe, and Adam put Tricity on a horse, and he held onto her. (Here, you can see the Scooby Doo skirt, too)

Then they rode the carriages, which is very much like the cars only it's girly, and Jolie rode by herself while Khloe and Tric shared a cart.

They rode one more time on the bucket ride thingy, and then we only had two tickets left, so Adam took Jolie with him to ride the tilt-a-whirl. After the rides, we saw our friends Buddy and Julie there with their two boys, and I got a picture of Tricity and Gabirel.

We got a funnel cake, some cotton candy, and went home. It was a good time. I think the kids had a lot of fun together :-) We could have stayed even longer just to talk and hang out with people, but I had to get to work that night. I think Jolie got a few more tickets after we left and rode the bigger rides. I felt bad that Tricity was still too little to ride them with her this year, but maybe next year she'll be a little bigger? She's just so tiny. Plus, after her reaction on the planes, I thought maybe she would have a queasy stomach when it came to rides like Adam does. Me? I got a stomach of steel. Anyway, it was a perfect day :-D
