Good Day!

Sunday was great day. We spent the afternoon at Green Lane Park at their Scottish Irish Festival. It's a thee-day event, but I guess Saturday was pretty much a wash-out. Anyway, we had a great time walking around. Ryleigh loved watching the "beautiful" Irish dancers. We spent time in the kids activity tent, where Ryleigh used potato stamps to paint a picture (glitter in the paint), glued pictures (and more glitter) on a "coat of arms," and decorated a princess crown with jewels and (you guessed it) more glitter. It was all about the glitter! We enjoyed sharing a fresh lemonade and a scone with strawberries and whipped cream. Ryleigh also enjoyed all the dogs, large and tiny, that were around the park with their owners. We discovered the great playground and swings at the end of our time, and of course, the swings were full, and despite quite a wait, she never got a turn. (The bummer of that is that on Monday we went to the little playground up the street, and while the swings were empty, they were too hot to sit on!)

Needless to say, the fun-filled day wore the girls out and both were sound asleep before we left the park! Ryleigh didn't even wake up when we carried her in the house and laid her on the couch.
