As promised a report:
July 19th:
Every year, our stake does a "Great Green Jello Festival." In previous years we've missed for one reason or another. Mostly because neither Jon nor I was particularly motivated to go to an outdoors jello festival in July- seemed kinda cheesy. This year we decided to check it out- primarily because the kids were climbing the walls and it seemed like a good excuse to get out of the house.
WOW, have we missed out in the past! We got there and they were serving pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, salad, chips, and homemade root beer. In addition there was cotton candy, snow cones, and lots of jello to sample and vote on. Not only that, but there were plenty of things to keep little people (and big people) amused. I was disappointed that I forgot to bring the camera to snap pictures of the kids. A great big bouncy obstacle course was set up, as well as an inflatable jumping thing, and a huge water slide. Melissa was unsure about the water slide. She begged to go up it, but once at the top was very unsure about going down. A bigger kid helped her up and then waited patiently beside her while other kids went down until she was ready to go as well. She sat at the top for probably 5 minutes. I don't know who the kid was, but he was sure a nice kid. Matthew had no qualms and was up and down countless times.
While Matthew spent the majority of his time playing on the slide, I took Melissa to get her face painted and to go "fishing" for some candy. The only thing we didn't hit was the rock wall. With me being nearly 9 months pregnant, and Jon with his separated shoulder; we weren't really good candidates for climbing. It did look fun though.
The next day both kids pleaded to go back to the "jello place." Next year, guys, next year.
