Up, up and away!

This weekend there was the Up, Up, and Away festival in Tupelo.  We decided to go and check it out.  They were supposed to have hot air balloons, but it was too windy during the day to have them out.  We were a little bummed about that, but it was still an awesome day!

We asked H if he wanted to ride a pony there, and he was excited.  When he climbed up on it, he looked very pleased with himself and the situation.  He was smiling, and after the first rotation when he came around to where I was, he said "Get me, Mama."  Then next rotation, "Mama, come get me!!" The third and fourth rotation he was leaning more and more on Daddy.  Then Daddy got him off, because he was looking like he might cry.  Maybe next year we'll be more ready for it...

H forgave us for the horse incident when we brought him over to the bouncers.  As you can see, he was very happy!  He jumped and jumped, and went on the slides over and over.  There were about three huge bouncers, so he never got bored.

C was happy to have the pinwheel that someone at the festival gave him.  He cried when anyone tries to take it away from him.  People kept commenting on the sling (which I am continuing to love) and were surprised when I said it was very comfortable to wear, they said they were surprised it was comfortable because C isn't exactly skinny, and looks like he hasn't missed any meals.  I love the ring sling and my chubby little guy!  He is a trooper!

H got to sit in a helicopter.  Cool! 
He was a little nervous about it, especially after the horse incident.

There were some army guys having fun with an awesome robot.  I have no idea where they were, but they made the robot come over to H and look at him.  It sent out it's arm.  He gave his pinwheel to the robot and then put the pinwheel in the wind so it would spin.  The robot was kind enough to give the pinwheel back too.

What an exciting day!  Horse rides, bouncers, helicopters, pinwheels and robots....  It's hard to beat that!
