Hallelujah Hoedown!

The fall festival season is in full swing. I see cake walks galore in our future. We started the festivities tonight at the Hallelujah Hoedown. I took Alex & Conleigh to this festival in 2005 before we even knew Campbell would be among us by the following summer. It is put on by one of the big churches here in Austin. We arrived late, like only 45 minutes left of activities. Peter & Alex had to get soccer practice squeezed in first. Anyway, we had time to...win a cake! Conleigh won again. She won one last year at the Spicewood carnival. I do believe she was wearing the same shirt tonight as she was when she won her other cake walk. She got a beautiful cupcake thing-a-ma-jig. It has 10 fall decorated cupcakes with a larger cake on the inside. Needless to say, we have dug in, and we all give it a thumbs up! Or, a hallelujah-high-five, whatever the case may be.

All the kids also managed to go down the Tsunami slide 3,4,or 8 times. They ate snowcones, and they all got their faces painted (which is now being washed off in the tub). Campbell jumped in the princess bounce house while Conleigh & Alex were cake walking. All that in 45 little minutes. Success! Now, bedtime!
