Watermelon Festival

We headed over to the annual Watermelon Festival out in Newberry with my friend and resident supermom, Julie. Julie is supermom all the way because she braved the hot sticky chaotic festival with her 3 small boys. She has a 4 year old, 2 1/2 year old, and a baby! We all had a fun time, there was endless free slices of watermelon and Sammy all but mastered the art of spitting out the seeds (a must for all southerners). The kids had a great time riding the rides and if it hadn’t been for the unbearable heat & humidity I think it would have been a perfect day.

We met up with some of Hannah’s family and Sammy loved riding the rollercoaster with Krista (who was so protective of him) and playing with “the cousins” as he calls the twins because he still can’t tell them apart.

The boys LOVED running and throwing their rinds in the truck, check out the air on David’s

Waiting in line with tickets in hand, I LOVE this pic of David, standing just like his daddy

Sammy and I are somewhere up on top, I was praying b/c it felt a little too rickety for my likes and I just wanted us to make it down safely

Here is where I almost lost all my watermelon! That merry go ride made me so sick, I swear they make them faster these days b/c I simply refuse to be that old
