I am a few days behind on this (we actually went to the Grape Festival last weekend), but Lowery had a lot of fun and I wanted to get these pictures up. The highlight of the festival for us this year is the fact that they did NOT have a game where you could win fish. Most of you know that we have 4 pets at our house - Ringo, the dog, and 3 fish - Silly, Billy and Chilly (named by Lowery of course). We got the three fish thanks to the Grape Festival last year - Lowery won that game where you try and throw ping pong balls into a fishbowl. So at 10:00 pm last year we headed home with a fish - no bowl, no food, no clue. Anyway, Silly was the first fish - and we ended up getting a small aquarium for him. And of course he needed "friends" to keep him company, thus the addition of Billy and Chilly. Chilly didn't fare too well at first and had an "extended trip to the fish doctor" and just came back home a couple of months ago (i.e. the fish died and it took us a while to get a replacement).
It was also good that the "dragon coaster" was a little nicer this year, meaning the carnival workers didn't have to push a pole back in place every time it went around. We ended things up on the merry-go-round, which looked like it could lose several horses any minute. But, in the end, no injuries due to unsafe fair rides. Just some little girls who had a great time. And, yes, Steve liked the dragon coaster, too!
