Community Events

If there is a community event in the area it is a high probability that you will see us there.  It is one of my favorite things to do and I think I have convinced Eli it's his too!

This year we tried some of the carnival rides and it was a huge success.

Of all the horses, he choose the giraffe at Main Street Days in Grapevine

It's not quite the State Fair but we did go on a Ferris wheel.  I was a little concerned since I knew 12 hours ago it was packed up in an 18-wheeler. 

But fun was had by all!  On the way down each time we had Eli say, "Whoooaaaaa"

And this was probably the nastiest ride.  $4 for one time around the track and for me to sit in an unidentified wet spot.  SICK!

Animal time!  The petting zoo is a must for my animal lover.

He was feeling brave enough to feed the alpaca 

A little snow cone to help us all cool down.

This was taken at KellerFest this past weekend.  Another big step in independence.  Parents were not allowed on this ride.

And another great part about events like this, live music.  You can really hear him but he keeps asking if I like the song.

  1. Rachel---I am soooo with you on the community events!
    The fam? Not so much. They endure them to placate me.

    And sometimes I get them to have a little fun...
