Our crew didn't have any plans this Friday, which was a kinda of a nice surprise after a few busy ones. We had saw a sign earlier that day about a free carnival in Riverside on Friday and Saturday so we decided after dinner to give it a try. Riverside is a small town about 10 minutes from where we live.
We were very surprised at how nice it all was. There was organized free parking and then a registration table for the kids to get wristbands. They were able to play on about 15 inflatables, including a really fun trampoline with a harness that helps them do somersaults, flips, etc. There was also a free concert, some arts and craft tables, and free fireworks. The best news is there were hardly any lines so the kids could go on a thing and then get right back on it. We were there for about 3 hours. We forgot our camera so we took a few shots with John's phone, which unfortunately takes horrible pictures if they are moving. So here they are...including a neat video of Ashlyn on the fancy trampoline (sideways, sorry!)
Saturday was also a great day, especially for me. Sue and I attended a Beth Moore simulcast bible study while the kids stayed home with John all day. Then we met back at Sue's house at dinner time. John and I were able to have a date night, while the kids ate with grandma and grandpa and did some crafts. The weekend flew by, but was very relaxing. Sunday was church, lunch, grocery shopping, and some picking up around the house. We are rested and ready for another busy week...
