Festival Fun


Today's Emily's competitive gymnastics team did a demonstration at the Angier Crepe Myrtle Festival so we decided to go a bit early for some "fair food" and free real estate promotional pens. Okay so the food was the real reason, the free pens were just just a bonus.

Only two weeks until her first meet of the competition season. I hope she is less nervous than I am.

Sami and daddy watching a clown perform.
Emily and three other gymnastics pals rode "The Cartwheel". Matt and I laughed because the ride wasn't operated by electric or a switch. Rather the man in the shirt just spun the cage around by hand, switching directions back and forth. Only in North Carolina.
Mr. Jack giving a last few directions. Notice how attentive the kids are being.

What are you talking about?! you DO have the leg muscles. You are a goober, Miss I-have-the-best-mom-body ever! :o)

And I would have went there, too, for the pens. Pens rock. Always a great incentive for me, too. I just got back from Staples and were drooling over some cool pens. I bought a pack of colorful ones for work, but the "work" part is just an excuse to get them, really.

Miss ya.
