The Henderson St. Patrick's Day Festival

We went to Henderson's annual St. Patrick's day festival for a fun family day. If it weren't for the length of the lines it would have been a perfect day. Even with all the waiting it was fun. The girls and I went on the scrambler and laughed so much my side hurt.









Here is what daddy and Brayden did while the girls and I had fun riding crazy rides and laughing our sides off! They had some father/son bonding time, sharing the kettle corn. Brayden loves his dad very much and is so excited when he is home. He loves riding in "daddy's truck" and laying on the couch with daddy. So, it was no surprise to me that he just sat in his stroller without even squirming once and listened to daddy's every word! He can't get out of the stroller fast enough when he is with me, he won't even sit still for a second!!


Haley and Mikayla went on the bumpy slide. Haley gave herself a big shove and enjoyed the ride. Mikayla on the other hand had to really concentrate on this one! It was like, after watching all the other riders the entire time we were in line, she still was not sure what was going to happen to her at the next bump!





We even let the kids pick one "carnival game" to play. They chose the duck game, each of them had to pick a duck out of the pond to see what prize they would win! They all won the same thing, obviously every duck was a winner, good thing for our family!!






And of course a festival is not a festival without good food and good music to listen and dance to! Boy did we find the good food, we had kettle corn, chocolate covered strawberries and bananas, and really good strawberry lemonade! Their was a band that played danceable (is that even a word!?!) music, just ask Brayden, he just about danced his pants off!!


This was a fun and tiring day. We love our little city of Henderson and all the fun events it puts on. We can't wait for the Art Fair now, Haley and Mikayla will be dancing at that one, on the main stage, yea!!!
