Magnolia Festival

Eric and I took the babes to the Magnolia Festival! We enjoyed it so much, we want to go again next year, just a little later in the evening.  It was super hot, but we had a great time seeing the sights, riding rides, visiting with Jennifer, and eating junk food (aka-our most favorite thing, cotton candy! YUM!) **Due to the hot temps and busy time, Sam Nolan was sound asleep in his stroller for most of the time or inside with Mommy doing some shopping. So no pics of him.**The only thing she wanted to do was bounce. So of course we saw this trampoline bouncy thing when we first got there. She immediately wanted to try it.

 I was thinking she would bounce extremely high, making me have a heart attack, but it was the opposite. For three minutes, we watched our baby girl (stiff legs and all) go about this high. Haha!

 I think Delaney was more nervous than she thought she'd be. This was the only smile I could get out of her, but that tells us she LOVED it.  That's how she acts. Too fun for words. :)

 She wasn't letting go...Very serious about it.

 Playing games...

 Winning a prize she picked out. What a prize! :)

 There she goes!

 She's got some moves on those bouncys!

Motorcycle Momma!

 Oh mercy!

 FUN!!

This day was one of those treasures. The fun-filled day you spend with your family, experiencing games and carnival rides through the eyes of your children.  When you really didn't know a balloon and a toy sheep could mean so much. And you ask, "Does it get any better than this?!" We can't even imagine what Disney World will be like with them! It makes Eric and I extremely proud and honored that God gave us these gifts, and to be a part of our babies' journey through life.  We were able to take the time to reflect on our blessings on the way home when Sam Nolan and Delaney fell asleep. Boy were they tired! Needless to say, we were all ready for baths shortly after we got home. Our Sam Nolan was all giggles before his bath, and I was thrilled to get some of it video.
