Bartlett Festival

This past weekend we went to the Bartlett Festival. It was a lot of fun.
Here are a bunch of pictures.

They had live bees there. It was a little freaky, but also pretty cool!


We bought a few flavored honey straws. Mmmm, honey!




Guest stars and Swag

We got all the free Brim's snacks that we could stuff into the stroller.



Kaelin played a duck game and was thrilled when she got a tattoo, cup and pencil. She didn't care that they had the St. Elisabeth's church logo all over them.



What four-year old girl do you know that swoons over black Spider-Man?



The kids became honorary Junior Police by none other than, McGruff!!!












Hannah Montana!!!
at the Bartlett Festival???



Judging by the size of the crowds?.....NOPE!! Then, it could only be...


Brittany and the Trunk Monkeys!!!!

(seriously, that's who it is)
They were actually pretty good, but, trunk monkeys??? Come on!


Bouncing

Kaelin really enjoyed the inflatables. She was pretty proud of herself being able to climb onto this turtle.


On the other hand, she was pretty sad when we told her she was finished.


Sean refused to go in and bounce with Kaelin.


So he hung out with Rob





Petting Zoo
They had a small petting zoo that the kids loved! They had a couple bunnies, baby chicks, a duck, a lamb, kittens and a calf.


Sean is pretty excited about touching a baby duck.



This week old calf has been bottle fed and the lady said that it will try to nurse off of anything. (including my forearm)
I definitely used my share of hand sanitizer.


Kaelin was all sullen because the big duck wouldn't let her pet it, so she settled for a bunny. That, I will say was easily the softest bunny/animal/anything, I've ever touched.

I tried

Here's a quick video of Savanna, she started off talking a little but it soon changed to crying. Sorry, I missed the talking. This is mostly for my family, so here you go.

Carnival

Mini Carnival!!!!

Today the kids went to a mini carnival playgroup. There were several different stations, with a different game at each one. The kids all had a great time. A big "thank you" to Wendy.


At this station they made their own goody bags


(side note) This is the first time Kaelin has done her and her brother's name all by herself.
She getting so big. (sniff, sniff)



Sean's carnival experience consisted of only these two activities.
Playing with a ball and eating a cupcake he won on the first game.


Kaelin playing a fishing game and a beanbag toss.


'Pin the tail' I did get Sean to do this but only because the pay-off was a sucker.


Kaelin, her friend Jayden, and Sean being lion tamers. I tried to get them to do "scared" faces. Kaelin looks a little surprised, Jayden ended up making a "scary" face and Sean was just trying to look at the lion. To which afterward Sean said: "I don't like a be in da lion's mouth"

Memphis Botanical Gardens

Alright so there are TONS of pictures, so, ENJOY!!!!

Kaelin pouting after being told she couldn't do something. (Who knows what it was??)
