Before I tell you about the festival we attended Saturday, I have to show you the other Strawberry Shortcake doll I found while putting the rest of them away<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6753\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Sour Grapes and her snake, Dregs.\u00a0 I had completely forgotten about her.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6757\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She uses way too much mascara.\u00a0 I think she\u00a0is a villainess.\u00a0 She doesn’t look too friendly.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6809\"<\/a><\/p>\n

David and I went to a festival that was being held at our grandchildren’s\u00a0 school.\u00a0 It was a\u00a0lot of fun.\u00a0 This lady was walking around giving everyone a “high” five.\u00a0 The kids loved it.<\/p>\n

You paid one price and got to do everything there was to do and there was a lot.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6805\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was sumo wrestling.\u00a0 The suit was almost too big for my grandson.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6801\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It rather overwhelmed him, but he wanted to try.\u00a0 This was the second time he did it that day.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6806\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The men had to stand the two contestants upright and then they were supposed to try to knock each other down.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN6803\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were both down within seconds.\u00a0 I think the weight of the suits was what did it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I laughed so hard at this.\u00a0 It was really funny to watch.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6805\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then they were\u00a0 placed upright again and tried once more.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6803\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then down they went again.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6793\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is my grandson who was the sumo wrestler.\u00a0 Yes, his hair is fire retardant.\u00a0 He’s the one who reminds me of my dad so much.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6788\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was reverse bungi jumping.\u00a0 My granddaughter is putting on a vest she had to wear to do this.\u00a0 The object was to run against the bungi cord\u00a0and try to get to the end before it pulled you back. I told her if she could make it to the end, I would give her five dollars.\u00a0 Sneaky, but I knew she wouldn’t be able to do it.\u00a0 Larger people than she had tried, but she gave it her all.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6789\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She began to run as hard as she could.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6790\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hair flying, she ran against the bungi cord as hard as she could, but it sprung her back less than halfway to the end.\u00a0 I gave her five dollars later, anyway.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6786\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another grandson climbed the big rock.\u00a0 It was pretty high, but he made it to the top and rang the bell.\u00a0 He’s so athletic.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6778\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He also became a human bowling ball.\u00a0 Strapped in this contraption, he was rolled toward the bowling pins.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6776\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It took longer to get him strapped in than it did for him to be rolled toward the pins.\u00a0 Safety first.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6784\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a man drawing caricatures and he drew this one of my granddaughter.\u00a0 I think it’s really cute.\u00a0 But then, I think she is really cute.\u00a0 The man drew for over two solid hours nonstop.\u00a0 I don’t know how many caricatures he drew, but it had to be a hundred or more.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6782\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was so much for kids to do and they could do it as much as they wanted.\u00a0 This was popular with the boys.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6769\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN6770\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The water dunking booth was popular.\u00a0 The men in the tank were good sports and goaded the kids to try to knock them down.\u00a0\u00a0 I tried once, but I threw like a woosy girl.\u00a0 Absolutely no arm strength.\u00a0 Some of those boys could throw the hard balls.<\/p>\n

All in all, it was a fun evening.\u00a0 There were vendors there also selling elephant ears, funnel cakes, Italian food, Chick-fil-A(yum) differently seasoned French fries.\u00a0 island food, ice cream, and much more.\u00a0 We tried several things and they were all good.<\/p>\n

Here’s to fun festivals and grandchildren to enjoy them with. Bye.<\/p>\n
