Haynes-Apperson Festival


Carnival!
Today marked an active day, we all slept in a little as Daddy did not have to work this morning—thank goodness, recovering from our concert outing where a special little girl and boy danced and played throughout the night. We all had a great concert time, and Mommy purchased Sean Francis and Daddy special lawn tickets to attend the Black Sabbath concert on Sunday, August 18th!!!

After getting dressed, we made our way downtown to the Main Street cafĂ© and once again enjoyed a nice breakfast brunch---quiche and biscuits and gravy :). We then spent some time as boy’s time and girl’s time, Daddy and Buddha went home and played in the back yard and did some work around the garage and house while Mommy and Bodhi had their nails done—yes a three year old little girl getting her fingernails and toenails done like her Mommy :).

When Mommy and Ms. Bodhi got done, they came back to the house to pick up Mister Buddha and Daddy and we made our way to Grindstone Charlie’s for an early dinner. Immediately after dinner, we made our way to the area of Foster Park, the new venue for the Haynes-Apperson Festival, where we met up with Grandmoo, GiGi and GiPa :).

We did all the kiddie rides (some of which made Daddy neurotic worrying about the two of you) and then Mommy and Grandmoo took the two of you on two grown-up rides, the giant Ferris wheel and a tilt-a-whirl type ride where we witnessed numerous people get sick, literally! If Daddy was neurotic watching the two of you on the kiddie rides, well you can only imagine---well, no, you cannot possibly imagine until you have children of your own and possibly (though hopefully not) have witnessed, as Daddy has, traumatic injuries to children over the years :(. Daddy is not a fun person to take to the carnival—he mistrusts carnies and he mistrusts giant machines put together by carnies :).

Without a doubt, you both enjoyed your carnival adventure (equaled in your enjoyment by that of your Mommy :), especially surrounded by your adoring family :). It proved an expensive venture, especially when considering the only indulgences besides rides (Mommy and Daddy did have a romantic ride on the Ferris wheel) was a single elephant ear for Mommy and a lemon shake-up for Daddy.

After our long day, we returned to the “Walnut House” and incredibly enjoyed the fire-works displays (a main feature of the festival) from the comfort of Mommy’s and Daddy’s bed---looking out our bedroom window in wonderment :). It was a long, fun-filled day concluding with yet another slumber party with Mommy, Daddy, Bodhi and Buddha sharing cheese and crackers and then “boom, boom, boom” fire-works fading into the night as the Princess and Prince of Indiana fell asleep with wide smiles adorning their beautiful angelic faces :)

“Night, night.”

Happy Bodhi feet :)
