We went in the tractor train. Matthew rode once and then we decided to let Jacob ride. Jacob could not ride alone and since my legs are shorter than Tony's I got the honors of riding with Jacob. Also, if you remember Tony had his turn from Dewberry Farm two years ago with Matthew. I just barely fit my butt in the bucket train. Luckily, we didn't need the "jaws of life" to get me out. My snug fit was motivation to fore go eating a funnel cake.
Matthew got a chance to sing and dance on the stage with Tom's Fun Band. Like his Unkie Jude, Matthew loves the stage. I always thought that Jude would do well singing kids' songs for festivals like this.
Matthew also got to try this new adventure sport, water walking in the bubble. He had a hard time keeping his balance at first but then he got the hang of it. I was proud of him. I think many older kids also discovered that walking in the huge "hamster" ball is harder than it looks.
On Sunday, we went to Tony's company picnic. I thought that the heat would make it miserable but we really had a good time. There were two shaded playgrounds to entertain Matthew and Jacob. They wore their matching astronaut shirts. We enjoyed the conversation with other adults and the great food.
Since we were not allowed to use the water balloons at the picnic we had a little "war" in the back yard when we got home. The water balloons were difficult to pop. They did not burst on impact so we had to be inventive.

Looks like you all had a fantastic weekend. I had not heard of the festival. Looks like fun.
He's making that look, because he has to poop. That was a poop face for sure.
