My 4th Greek Festival
this is me with 3 of the nayfa girls the first festival
The second festival Emily was 7 months old. I brought the stroller over. It was different, because I couldn't spend that much time over there. It also rained one day. I just sat under the tent, with Emily in the stroller and listened to the music.
The third festival, was a couple of weeks after our wedding. Emily was 20 months old. She loved the music. We couldn't keep her off the dance floor. She danced away. We had to finally get her off the dance floor because she was red and overheating. That was meltdown time.
This festival (4th festival) I have Emily who is 2 1/2 and Mia who is 5 1/2 weeks. Rich didn't voleenteer for anytime there. Friday night, Rich was working, Rickey and Linda took us over to the festival. Linda and Rickey let Emily ride the enflatable jump thing (the first time for emily on the festival rides). I had brought Mia in her baby carrier. I just walked around looking for people I knew. We ate in the new hall. After eating I tried to dance with Mia in the carrier and holding Emily's hand.
Saturday it rained all day. Saturday night, Rich and I and the kids went over there. Rich worked the American Grill and caught up with his friends and I took Emily in side. Emily played in the middle of the hall with some other kids. She told me "these are all my sisters and babies" then later she said "these are all my friends." Rich took us home around 10:30 pm. He went back and stayed until around midnight.
Sunday, Evelyn came over and went with us. We got there about 4 pm. We ate chicken strips and fries and listened to the music. We went inside and I said Hi to Stephanie and looked at the Silent Auction. Emily played on the dance floor outside under the tent with the Gilman Girls then Emily said she was ready to go home. Rich brought us home. (6 pm) Rich went back to help clean up and didn't get home until around 12:30 am.
