We had so much fun! It felt like the first time in a long time that we all just got to hang out. All of us where there, even the babies hung out way past their bedtime. There were so many games and things to bid on at the silent auction. There was a dunking booth that Alisiya nailed all three times too. (That poor little boy.)
We brought our cow girl along. She dressed herself and told me how many of her friends at school liked her outfit. Alisiya's favorite game was The Cake Walk. The way that it worked was there were numbers in a circle on the ground. The children formed a circle and all walked along the numbers to music. When the music stopped, they were to stay on a number. A number was drawn out of a basket and the person on that number could win a cake, cookies, or donuts. I have to admit, I think it was the busiest booth at the festival. There wasn't much too it, just the opprotunity to win a prize and the kids loved it. There was also a hula hoop contest that Alisiya and I participated in. They rigged it by giving me the broken hula hoop, so I was out of the game soon. The thing busted open and flew at Jerry. The twins just loved the opprotunity to be in a crowd. And my parents just liked being around the grands.
My fav part of the evening was the silent bidding on different prize baskets. I got so addicted. I felt like a shark, walking around to look and see if anyone out bidded me on anything. In the end I won (purchased) two baskets. One is a movie basket with popcorn, two movies, and lots of other goodies. The other was a Little Baker's Basket for Alisiya. It had two chef hats, an oven mit, aprons, and other goodies to bake in it. Overall we had a lot of fun together. It was good family fun!
