Grapefest fun!

We went to Grapefest today. It's been a long time since I've been to a festival; however, today was a good day to go since we finally got a break in our 40 days of rain and we were ready to get out of the arc. So, off we went. Off to battle the long lines, the crowded streets, the fried food smell, the little brats (not our kids, of course!)running amuck, kids hyped up on sugar, the women in the purple hat club, and the men in their tank tops. We even saw one cowboy wearing his tight Wranglers, hat and boots holding his wife's purse as she was in the bathroom. Classic. It was good times with good friends. It was, that is, until about 7:30 p.m.and the meltdowns began....but we won't go there. Here we are, BEFORE 7:30...

Gwen and Big L with Angie's mom



Getting ready for a "bitecycle wide"







Of course, Landon had to get his face painted with a football. It was cute--until he rubbed his cheek and it looked like a big pile of poo, that is.





Landon's 2 girlfriends, Gwen and Graelyn. He can't decide which one he likes best. How could you?!


Going for a "wide on da choo choo". Good times.



And then Landon and Gwen went again, it was so fun! Fun, that is, until it is the last "wide". Getting Landon to leave was no easy task. Not even the mention of dinner was enough to stop the meltdown...




A bit jerky but the kids loved it. I thought the train was going to fall off of the track every time it went around a corner...

I love Grapefest!! Looks like y'all had a blast. Love the Landon talk with "wide" and "bitecycle." But OK -- could Sherry be any tinier?!? Sheesh!! Who would know she's a grandmother?!? If she weren't so sweet I would hate her for being so cute.

Grapefest would be better if it was just wine and not the "state fair" type stuff:) Or maybe I just need to go on Thursday when its not as crowded:) And Jenny, don't feel bad, I would hate her too...sometimes I do because she's so tiny...but she eats like a bird and I eat more like a fat dog so there's the problem

I know...not even all of the deep fried treats of Grapefest tempted Sherry. UGH. I decided NOT to get in any pictures with her. Ever.
