This is going on 7/26-7/27, Denver, CO.

Race start.

Even.

Winning!

We went to the dragon boat fest today. The kids colored dragon masks and fans.

We found free chopsticks and tons of giveaways. There was a dancing dragon to see up close.

Here’s the baby dragon.

There was a magician, who was very good at cups and balls!

We got characters on our hands and faces, mine is ‘dragon’, Grace has ‘princess’, Hannah has ‘happy’ and Bethany has ‘flower’.

Teams race against each other, the race is over very quickly (for us anyway.)

After the races they had a small parade out of the tent and the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ was sung beautifully.

We wandered around some more and bought an umbrella, hat and puppet.

Then it was back to the bus to ride to the parking area

US Toy had a teacher’s night and I won this:

It’s a bin full of art stuff, paints, brushes, stamps, clay, cups…..cool! I also bought Hannah an ABC fingerpuppet/flannel set and a new wooden toy.

I also got a word game for Grace and some stuff for my co-op in August. Oh, and a new Mr. Otter, he’s very cute and cuddly. Pics of him and bunny in their Florida shirts to come!

Tiny pinecones.

At the hot dog stand.

Giant cookie.

We went to the antique store and Hannah got a turtle puppet.

Joel has been wanting a typewriter forever and guess what he found!

Bethany got 2 bags of necklaces.
