Good Fest

After Kayla's very fun party we went home, thinking we were going to have a quiet night in. Well, no.  Meagan called and said she heard there was something called Good Fest happening at Redmond Towne Center.  So I made a triple latte and got Lon redressed and off we went to meet Grace, Meagan and Gernot! 

Spinning the wheel at the REI booth. Lon won a sticker. It was towards the end of the day, so there were not so many prizes left. But Lon was very happy with the big sticker

Mini Golf. We really need more practice. Toward the last of the 9 holes, Lon was getting better at holding the club and swinging.

Meeting one of the dogs in the reading with Fido booth. Lon loved spinning the wheel.  He got a grocery bag. We were waiting in line for the train. Grace, her Mom and Dad and baby Samantha (who was visiting) met up with us in line. Lon REALLY wanted to go on that mini train.

Samantha was very interested in Lon's balloon. Lon was so happy to finally be on the train. The kids got the car they wanted to be in. It was fun. All around the shopping area.

Grace got a temporary tattoo. it was pretty cool. They put on the outline and colored it in with markers.  Lon did not want a tattoo. He saw the Geodes. THOSE are way cooler than any tattoo! 

Lon was so proud of himself for opening it by himself!

The crystals inside his geode.

The show was pretty much over. We went to look at the toy store. Lon and Grace made a new little friend at the play table. They were all so nice and polite to each other. I was proud of Lon.

Grace and her parents (and baby Samantha) came home with us for dinner!  Meagan got the kids some very interesting plastic modeling compounds.  If you let it out in the air, it will dry hard, but if you keep it covered it should stay moist enough to remold.  The kids were having fun with that stuff! I got out the big box of cookie cutters for them to use.

Playing Airplane. Lon was the pilot taking Grace anywhere she wanted to go!

I made beef stew and macaroni and cheese for dinner. The macaroni and cheese was a new recipe, cook the pasta slowly in milk, add cheese and bake a little bit. Really tasty. 30 minutes total! We always have fun with Grace and her family.
