Another great year spent at Sturgis Falls. I was really feeling like I needed something summery to cheer me up and this was just the thing. I came to mom and dad's to spend the night Thursday night with all three kids. Friday afternoon was the first the girls and I got out and enjoyed the festivities. I had my nephew Ethan with me too! We met my sister Jamie and her husband Keith and two kids and ate supper in Overman Park. After that we walked down to where the rides were. We all rode the carousel which the girls always enjoy. Austin rode as a chaperone for Ethan so he got to ride for free! I also let Ethan and Kezzie pick one more ride and they chose the whales. The guy saw Austin waiting at the gate with them and asked if he wanted to ride it too! So he rode that for free also! Austin didn't want to pick a ride of his own but instead chose to spend his money on one of the game stands for a chance to win a prize. He didn't get it :( But the guy gave him a couple more tries for free! After we were done down there we headed back to Overman to watch the talent show and enjoy a bag of JR doughnuts! The kids all did great and had a blast throwing grass at each other when we were waiting for it to start. It got a little out of hand when it was disturbing the people around us though! It was getting late so we decided to go home to mom and dad's and go to bed a little before the show was over. The kids were all tired anyway. The next morning (Saturday) the kids and I met Jamie and her kids again and went to the Sturgis Falls parade. It was kind of cold and rainy but we made the most of it! When it was over we went into Overman Park to see what else we could find to do and decided to get the kids' faces painted. While waiting in line we made a magic wand! When it was Keziah's turn to get her face painted the guy had her sit in the chair and then asked her what he wanted him to paint on her face. She thought for a minute and then said, 'I don't know, I like swimming pools!' The guy just laughed and I talked it through with Kezzie and she ended up deciding on a fish! She was very pleased with the results! When we were done with that it was time for lunch and I really didn't want to eat in the park again, plus it was getting close to time for the girls to nap and I had to go home to New Hampton so the girls and I left and drove through McDonald's. I don't think Adah even ate her lunch before conking out on the drive home! It was nice to be able to put her in her own bed when we got home! There really is no place like home!
