Summerfest

The house is quite, I should be napping but instead I'm blogging. The dishes are done and laundry is going so I'm going to write about our busy weekend.
This weekend was Summerfest in Hull. Its a 4 day long event that has the whole town bustling. Thursday was free swim day at the pool so I took the girls for some swimming while Nolan was at Gramma's. Friday we went back to the pool with Bethany, Madison, Kathy and Isabella. It was nice to sit and talk instead of having to occupy the girls the whole time. It was also the first time I put Nolan in a swimsuit. He didn't like the cold water, but he did fall asleep in the sun with his new hat on. Friday night in the park was the bbq with hamburgers and chips and bean and ice cream.
Saturday was the big event day. It started out with Mark and the girls going for pancakes in the park. Then we all headed back to the park to enjoy the kids carnival and Kathy and I went to look at the craft booths. It was a bit cloudy and breezy to start but the day sure warmed up fast. We stayed around or lunch of pizza and water. Kathy bought the girls each a ticket to do the cake walk and Chloe won! She was soo excited she ran over to me and gave me a hug, then she went with aunt Kathy to pick out a cake. She thought cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles and smarties on the top looked good and they sure were. Then around 12 we loaded up in the car to take the girls over to the foreign candy company outlet store to meet aunt Bethany. The girls were invited to ride the foreign candy company train and they were so excited. After loading the girls with sunscreen for the 2nd time in 2 1/2hrs we headed back to the park to find a place to sit for the parade. The parade is the biggest candy parade around since the candy company throws out tons and tons of candy. The girls had a blast on the train and then received a box of candy and pool noodles and a floatie for  the pool. We then came home to get out of the heat for awhile and just relax. After awhile of relaxing we headed out to Mark's parents to have supper with his family since his sister Sarah was here for the week. The girls really enjoy playing with their cousins.
Today there wasn't a whole lot going on. Tonight there is praise in the parking lot at Hope church but we are not going cause its just way to hot and muggy.
One crazy weekend over and another one on the way. Lots to do before Friday when we leave for Pella IA!
