Festival Fun!!

This past Saturday, we had such a fun time at the Harpeth Community Church festival. The boys had a blast and the weather cooperated nicely for an August day in the mid-south, meaning we did not melt on the pavement.

The highlight of the day for Caleb was playing in all of the bouncy, inflatables. He particularly loved the obstacle course that he ran through like lightening, leaving his ole mom in the dust. He did lose his prized new police badge, that he won in the ring toss, on one run through the course. It did not seem to bother him badly enough to slow him down. He ran through approximately 250 times. He also enjoyed hanging out with Bob and Larry. Unlike little brother, Biz is quite the fan of vegetables and loved following them around, waving at them, and taking their pictures. At one point, he looked at us and said, "Are Bob and Larry deaf?" Eric and I exchanged glances, but then quickly understood what he meant. They were not able to communicate with Caleb beyond their waves and occasional dance steps. Caleb was trying to start up conversations with them, but no words came out of their big, costume mouths. Having been around the deaf community since birth, it was a logical assumption to Biz that they must not be able to hear him or else they would be talking to him.

A giant, dancing cucumber from a four-year-old perspective.

The highlight of Sethie's day came in the form of a yellow balloon. Once he spotted the balloons, he was off and running. How simple it is to make a 17 month old smile. Seth spent the rest of the day captivated by his balloon and in awe of that fact that when you tie the little string around the wrist, it will not fly away.

The Sno-cones were a favorite of the whole Workman bunch. And of course, the little trackless train ride through the parking lot was fun for all. Except daddy, who did not partake.

Fun day!!
