Last year we went to the local Children's Festival and had a ton of fun. When I saw this year's festival advertised, I just knew we'd have to go again. You pay an entrance fee of $6 and all the activities are free. This year there was even more to do and we made sure to get there early so we could fit in all the activities before the booths ran out of supplies. The kids had their faces painted, painted ceramic pumpkin ornaments, built toolboxes with Home Depot, enjoyed watching science experiments, dug for fossils, received display cell phones from AT&T (HUGE hit with the kids), played an Angry Bird game, tried out various string instruments, and countless other activities.

"Talking" to Daddy on their new phones
Even Hiccup received her own phone
The local symphony had a tent set up and were letting the kids try out the various instruments. Mr. R really wanted to give the violin a try and the woman there helped the kids play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." After trying out several instruments Mr. R wanted to know how old he has to be to take violin lessons. I was kind of surprised to hear that. Maybe after he's done with karate we'll put him in some lessons.

We left around lunchtime just as the festival was starting to get crowded. The kids are already talking about going back next year. Hopefully Hubby will be able to go with us for once. Then maybe Hiccup can explore the large toddler-only area they have instead of sitting patiently in the stroller the whole time.
