Grapefest 2012

On Saturday afternoon Sofia and I went with our neighbors, Marco, Stacy and Antonio to Grapefest while CK stayed home with an overly-tired Olivia. We went in the afternoon and because of the unusually cool weather it was very crowded! We made our way down Main Street, stopping to get food and then funnel cakes. By the time we got our funnel cakes (we really should have split one), we were at the carnival rides. Sofia and I started out on her favorite - the dragon roller coaster. It's pretty fun and she laughed throughout the ride! After, she went with Stacy on the ferris wheel while Marco and I took Antonio over to the petting zoo. Soon Stacy and Sofia joined us and the kids had a great time petting and feeding all the animals. Of course, Sofia loved the horse and also spent a lot of time petting and playing with the chicken. From there, Antonio and Sofia played on the kiddie trikes for awhile to get the wiggles out. Finally, Sofia used our last tickets on the super slide and loved it! She really got going fast and ended up doing it two more times before we headed home. It was a great visit to Grapefest and the weather really helped make it enjoyable. CK enjoyed a little down time and Olivia was well-rested and happy when we returned, so everyone had a good day.

What's a festival without cotton candy?

One way to eat it...
