Watermelon Festival

We just returned from a fun trip to visit Ben's parents and Grandpa Homer. It was also the weekend of the Watermelon Festival, which kept us busy! Since Ben's dad is the mayor, Grace got to sit in the convertible with him in the parade! She was practicing her Queen Elizabeth wave for a week prior.

Grace gets to open the Watermelon Festival parade with Mayor Hough!

Here the girls and I sit with Grandma and Grandpa watching the parade go by.

Grace competed in the watermelon eating contest, which is ironic considering she is THE world's slowest eater.

Abigail wanted to help, too!

We also went to the their land in the country where there are cows, pigs, garden and pond for fishing! I thought this was a funny pic of our dog Saki having a show-down with the cows.

Feeding the cows with Grandpa!

It was a busy weekend and we all enjoyed our mini-vacation! Grace is back home playing with her Barbie dolls and having a tea party with homemade peanut butter cookies, lemonade "tea" and chairs she made for them out of her blocks. Fun times!
