We have a new tradition - last year drove to Burton to go to a country music festival - this year we did the same thing though we ended up spending the entire day there!!!
which was wonderful.
the Raccoon Festival is now one of our favorite things to do in August - as you can tell from the pictures the weather was wonderful - it was cool in the shade but warm in the sun - either way it did not matter to either Sadie or Silas - they both got up on the stage and danced - actually getting a few adults to come on stage with them!
as the kids get older we have learned that they need to run and dance any possible chance they can get and this festival is the best place to do all of it!
we are looking forward to next year and all the fun to be had - i think next year we may try camping!
which reminds we - the weekend before we went - we actually did try camping.
this summer had been an odd summer - very very hot and very dry (actually all summers are suppose to be like that right?) anyways - we decided to try out our new tent - this is no super tent - but a backyard hobby type tent
we packed the car with food, sleeping bags, clothes, potties, etc....and drove out to Punderson State Park - there were big black clouds in the sky - but we figured we would try and see what happens - well wouldn't you know it
we pitched the tent and it started to downpour - not is did not rain ALL summer but as soone as we pounded that stake in it did not stop for another 20 hours
we survived though - a little soggy and yes there was a small pool of water in the tent when we woke up - but the kids had a blast and are up for trying again!
this time though i might pay closer attention to the weather and actually listen to it :)
