Fun Fest

Fun Fest is a week long of events and activities for families to do in Kingsport. The past couple of years we have been at mom and dad's during the week of Fun Fest and each year they kick it off with a parade downtown. Last year when we went Katie loved it because most of the floats throw out candy to the kids and some give out the mardi gras beads. Bree was too little last year to really enjoy it so I wasn't sure how into the parade she would be this year. Katie was into the parade from the beginning and Bree sat on my lap for about 20 minutes and then she got the hang of what she was supposed to be doing. She started waving to all of the people on the floats and finally she was down on the ground dancing with Katie to the music. It was so cutie seeing them both waiving to the floats and grooving to the music.

Tuesday evening Mom, Dad, Katie, Bree and I all joined Brandy and Kevin for a Fun Fest Putt Putt event. This was the first time Katie has every played putt putt so when we got there and she saw everyone hitting balls, she said "Mommy, it is golf" I told her it is a lot like golf we just don't hit the ball as hard or as far. I wasn't sure how she would do or how her attention span would hold up during the game, but we were all impressed with how well Katie did. She was patient and waited her turn , she played all 18 holes and never gave up on one hole. She even got a hole in one and on a couple of hole she got the ball in the hole in 2. She was so excited everytime it would go in. On the last nine holes Katie did so good I only beat her by 5, so I don't know how sad that makes me sound but she was excited.

Well, Fun Fest is coming to an end this weekend, so I am not sure if we will get to do to much more but the girls seemed to enjoy events we took them too.
