Cascade Childrens Festival















What a fun day we had! After a lazy morning we headed off to Drake park and the Cascade Childrens Festival. Oh my gosh, what fun we had!! A hand full of tickets were only pennies a ticket, and there was so much to do it just blew my mind. Just walking down the path we were given a big gift bag full of "healthy teeth" stuff, from toothbrushes to sticker charts and more. A few steps later and they were both clutching new balloons. Both munchkins spent quite a while bouncing in the bounce house, and Raegan got her face painted ( well, dotted. Whatever, she loved it.) They both got "crowns" which were actually princess tiaras (but we won't tell Kael that). Winning the bean bag toss got them each a balloon hat, and tossing rings got them each a Frisbee to color on. Kael had the most fun in the toy pile. A huge mountain of toys is piled up, the children pay their one ticket, then dive in! The best part? They get to leave with one of the toys. After much deliberation Kael chose a football ( of course). But Raegan? She knew exactly what she wanted. She waded in and went right for him; the vulture. Yes, Raegan chose the stuffed vulture toy! To top it all off we had a great lunch of Soba noodles sitting in the shade at the park listening to the free concert. It really was just an awesome morning! MUST mark it on the calendar to do again next year!

( not many pictures of Kael, that little tornado just wouldn't hold still long enough for me to snap one! Plus, my bag was just LOADED down with free goodies to take home. The camera got a little buried. )

We were just down there too! And we had Soba too! It was a great way to spend the day! Kael and Raegan looked like they had a good time :)

They had a blast!! I can just imagine little Taylor buried in that pile of stuffed toys ( did she get one?)

Amber said...

You know Taylor was less than impressed with the toys, I took off her shoes and set her in there and she immediately wanted out so I picked out a cute little bear for her! But Connor and Zachary managed to come home with about 8 stuffed animals!

Is it just me, or did they clear out the bouncy house when Kael went in and give him a chance to bounce all alone.....where are all the other kids??? Is he a violent bouncer???

Sabrina said...

that bounce house is bigger then it looks, lol! There were 6-7 other kids in there at all times, and he was no more rowdy then the others. It was just for the 4 and under crowd so he fit right in!
