Burnet Bluebonnet Festival

 
 
 
 


Today we headed over to Burnet, The Bluebonnet Capital of Texas, for their yearly bluebonnet festival. We got there and the weather was drizzly, but we decided to brave it anyway. Our first stop was at Cowboy Church. We listened to some music and heard the sermon before heading over to meet our friends. We walked around and looked at the vendors before heading over to the rides and junk food alley! Ian and Tommy got unlimited wristbands and had a ball riding all the rides. They had helicopters and cars, roller coasters and lots of junk food stops. We ran into some other friends and the boys took the girls on a helicopter ride. TOO CUTE! One of twins said, "Hey Ian, you can fly me and my sister up in the helicopter!" Aaron mostly sat in the stroller. I felt a bit bad. That was two days in a row that he had to do that, but today he pretty much was happy to sit there and watch.

As we were walking out today, a sign caught my eye: Marshmallow shooters! Oh we just had to had one and Ian has been in heaven ever since! :)

 
 
 

Bloomin' Temple Festival

 
 
 
 


We had some free time this evening so we met up with our friends at the Bloomin' Temple Festival. It was chalk full of "nickel and dime you to death" traps, but the kids really enjoyed it. Aaron was in a particularly ornery mood even though he really couldn't do much. It was way too crowded to let him out of the stroller. He had fun interacting with his buddy Tiffany and making faces at me. Ian loved the rides! We actually played a game and won a goldfish. So they gave us a ticket to come back for our fish when we were ready to leave. Ian wouldn't stop talking about that darn fish. The whole time he kept asking about his fish. So finally it was time to go home so we stopped to get our fish only to find out that they were temporarily out. So the lady looked at me and said, I'll give you a stuffed Nemo instead. And I was like OH YESSS! PLEASE! So no fish bowl for us! YAY!! And Ian was happy with his fish!
