Grapefest... yet another reason to miss Grapevine!

Today Tristen and I decided to take the girls to Grapefest. It's a festival held each year in Grapevine and it's a lot of fun... even if you don't drink wine! Haylee and I headed to Grapevine after her ballet class this morning. Here you can see Haylee showing off her bag of cotton candy... her prize for being a big girl at ballet class this morning. She had to go in, put her slippers on and take her spot on the floor with no problems... and she did it!


And she even shared with Tristen & Kaiya (notice the "mom" thing Tristen is doing?):


After we got the cotton candy and some ice-cold lemonade (did I mention how HUMID it is here today???), we made a bee line for the rides. Haylee and I rode the kiddie coaster and Haylee didn't like it! I didn't feel very safe in it but didn't want to say anything and frighten her. On the 2nd time around, she was crying and yelling pretty good. But we survived!


Then on to the Petting Zoo. A little traumatic as well. Haylee spent $1 on food to feed the goats and as soon as she got in the pen, they all came towards her. She tried to run, slipped on the shavings on the ground and down she went, goat food and all. She got up quickly and they ate all the food. Here she is trying to evade one of those nasty goats:


It took her a few minutes to warm up to the animals and then she had fun. Kaiya, however, LOVED IT! From the minute she was in the pen, she was petting anything that came near her! So cute!


Here is the smartest animal! This bunny was laying right in front of the huge fan. Everyone wanted to pet him because he was so big and soft and he didn't have to do anything!


Again, did I mention how uncofortably humid it was? Here is Kaiya taking advantage of some fan action herself:


Rick works right in the area, so as we're leaving, guess who we ran into! Haylee was SO excited to see daddy! He's her hero! She even got to go with him to deliver the package he has under his arm.


It was a fun, sweaty afternoon!
