We had our big parish festival this weekend. Lito usually joins us but was unable to come at the last minute. The kids were so sad, and we definitely missed him. But we were able to eek some fun out of the weekend anyway. ;)
Daddy got suckered into Bingo night in Lito's absence. The kids enjoyed playing/helping!
We decided to skip the dinner/dance this year (Austin is recovering from illness, and I am just always pooped!) and took Pawpaw out to an early birthday dinner after evening mass instead. This guy ate chips and salsa the whole time. He actually tried and liked the "infierno" salsa...the really hot one. The waitress noticed and even brought him his own bowl! He didn't eat his dinner, but we didn't care. It was such a joy to see him enjoying himself so much.
Sunday was the big festival. The older girls and I baked cakes for the cake wheel, and Allia acutally signed up to help out this year. She really enjoyed that. The little ones rode the horses.
They played lots of games, won lots of little prizes, jumped in the bounce houses and had lots of fun. The cotton candy started out a little too expensive for the kids (though they really wanted some), but then they lowered the price so the kids all went to get some after we ate lunch.
Then we were invited to the house blessing of some dear friends that evening. It was a lovely time, and they have a beautiful new home to enjoy with their growing family. We are so happy for them and thankful for such a great weekend!
