Sidewalk Chalk

The first thing we did at the festival was to get Maury a square for the Sidewalk Chalk Art contest. He went to town drawing and writing in his spot.

Balloon Fight

Then, before the bed race started, we stood in line so the kids could get a balloon animal. Turns out, the kids in front of them had started the balloon sword trend, so that is what they wanted. Naturally, Lizzie had to have pink and a sword fight insued immediately.

"I Love You, Mommy!"

After a not-so-successful naptime, we headed out to the airfield for a hot air balloon show. Maury hopped into a police car (with his Care Bear) and proceeded to exclaim on over the intercom, "I Love You, Mommy!" I was very proud.

Two Maurys

We were sitting out having our picnic dinner when we realized that we weren't the only ones yelling at a Maury to come back to where he was supposed to be. This little guy is a Maury, too. He and his sister hung out at our blanket most of the time before they left.

Mini Balloon Show

It was so windy at the airfield that day that not many hot air balloons made it up. We waited it out and saw a few and then we headed back home. The kids fell asleep on the way back to Beth's around 6 p.m. They slept through until 7 a.m. the next morning! Unheard of! Love what fresh air does to kids...big sleep!

Laughs A Lot Bear

So, here is a close up of Maury with his favorite thing: his Care Bear. Just kidding, Nana. But, honestly, the boy never had a favorite stuffed animal until this one. At the age of 4, he started taking a Care Bear with him to school to sleep with at naptime. Strange. But, I like it because it means he hasn't gotten too old yet!
