My First Oyster Festival

Today I went to my very first Oyster Festival after having lunch with Grandpopi and Auntie Marie. I didn't see any Oysters though. I saw lots of rides, games, balloons and bubbles. Grandpopi bought us some tickets and we got to go on lots of rides! Daddy took me down a HUGE slide first. That was a lot of fun. Then Mama took me down. I was a brave girl and didn't cry at all. Mama screamed like a little girl. We then went on a train ride. I had to ride with another little girl because I was still too little to go by myself. That's ok though. She and I talked during the ride. I have no idea what she was saying though. She must speak Russian or Swedish. It could go either way.

Grandpopi wanted to go on the Merry Go Round so I went with him. He seemed to really like that ride! He was laughing and giggling. So cute. After that Grandpopi rushed me over to Mama and we went on the flying Dumbo ride! It was so much fun. I was getting restless because I couldn't really see out of the side so Mama tried to hold me on her lap. It was still really hard to see though. Daddy was able to get some good pics of us though.

After that we went towards the craft tents. Mama saw a Child ID kit so she got me one. This way if I ever lose Mama and Daddy, it'll be easier for everyone to help me find them again.

It took them FOREVER to get everything they needed for the ID kit so once we were done, we headed right over to the craft tents. Mama and Daddy bought me a long sleeve tie-dye shirt because they were nervous that I was getting too much sun. I told them that I was ok since they were NON STOP putting on sun screen, but Mama said she didn't trust it. Sigh. then why bother putting on the sun screen?

Grandpopi and Auntie Marie were at the end of the first row of craft tents and they joined us and Nana to walk through the rest of the tent (which were only like 5 tables). Nana bought me a push penguin toy! It's so cute. Mama and Daddy let me walk around a lot too. Nana bought me a monkey backpack with a super long tail that they can hold on to. I had fun chasing the monkey tail around and around and around. Then I got dizzy so I stopped. But it sure was fun trying to clothesline people who were trying to get between me and Mama.

I had fun walking Grandpopi around. we saw lots of little cars, some music places and some more cars. I even found a kid that had a tennis ball. Grandpopi let me get one of my own. I wanted the pink one with the rope on it. that one had two tennis balls. But that's ok. I like my yellow one. I think i'll give it to Fritzy. He likes tennis balls.

There wasn't a whole lot to see in the craft tents and we had already eaten lunch so we decided to head back to the rides. I went on the Merry Go Round a few more times and we saw our neighbors, Miss Jill, Ivy and Eve, Mr Ryan. We also saw Miss Kelly, Hana and Mr. Mike.

Daddy and I went on a dinosaur ride. It was fun but i was getting SUPER hot and tired.

We had some more tickets though so Auntie Marie took me down the huge slide. We got to the top and I saw it. Balloons! I wanted a balloon. How was I going to get one? Then before I could map out how to get to the balloons down the slide we went! I wasn't ready. Boy was I mad! We got to the bottom and I did my very best "i'm super ticked off" face. Mama grabbed me and gave me kisses. Then we went back up the ladder to the top of the slide again. I kept trying to tell her about the balloons but she kept waving at Daddy. sigh. Finally, we made it up to the top. I see the balloon man again. I was trying to decide between the big blue dolphin or the pink monkey. It's a tough choice. weeeeeee! down the slide we went again. what is wrong with these people? Again, i wasn't ready and i left my stomach at the top of the slide! I was super unhappy at this point. Mama just laughed and gave me more hugs. I tried to climb back into my stroller to get my water. These people are crazy.




It was so much fun. I can't wait until next year!
