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 café 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 :)
