Friday Night at the Festival

Friday night, the Catholic church and school up the street held their annual festival (actually it went on all weekend). We were watching our friends' two children and decided it would be a great way to pass the time with them (not to mention a distraction for Cate who was still crying when she peed). So off we went...
The two older kids decided a stop at the park was in order, so we actually went there first.
Then we headed across the street to the festival. The kids enjoyed riding rides...
...and playing games. Cate won this awesome pair of pink shutter shades. Of all the prizes she could have picked, this was the one item that caught her eye. She also got a book (Half Price books donated books as prizes and you only needed 2 tickets to get a book-- the shades took 10 tickets to get).
It really was a fun night. We're usually busy on Labor Day weekend or out of town, so we've never been to the festival before. We were going to go again Saturday night, but Eric wasn't feeling totally up to it and Cate was still whining about her diaper, so we spent a quiet evening at home making penguin cupcakes...look for them in a later post.
