A 'winning' Kearney tradition

So yesterday the whole crew spent the morning picking up the house in preparation for Jonathan's birthday party, worked in the yard, and painted some more trim on the front of our house. We kept the afternoon open before the party to go to an annual Kearney festival we go to each year. This is one we might miss if/when we move. The festival is called Kid Fest and is a celebration of Kid Safety. The have a car seat check, tours through a fire truck, ambulance, and police car, identi-theft stuff, balloons, moon walks, and a few other fun booths to visit. My favorite part is the free stuff of course - lots of drawings for fun prizes and free lunch! This year it was moved to our new park we love and talk about on this blog so much, Jesse James Park. They had a awesome Army helicopter that we walked through before it took off over our heads. And they had a "Mr. Stinky Feet" concert, who we really enjoyed during Ashlyn's preschool days. It was a nice break after all our hard work. I'll post some pics later when I get them off my camera.

Oh, the best news - Jonathan won the kids grand prize drawing this year! He got a $50 gift card to Toys R Us. Needless to say we were all so excited and can't wait to go find some great deals there this week. Thanks again Kearney!
