Deutschen Pfest '11

One of our annual traditions is going to Deutschen Pfest every year here in P'ville. It's just a little german heritage festival with a carnival kind of like a little Wurst Fest. The kids love it. This year we decided to invite our neighbors kids to go along. That way each kid had a built in playmate and someone to ride the rides with. It was hot, but really fun!

The bus on the way!! The kids love it because it's one of the only times they get to ride a school bus!










They have possibly the best petting zoo there every year. It's actually located outside the "gate" so you don't have to pay to get into D'pfest to go to it. It's great. Tons of really sweet bunnies, chicks, ducks, goats, baby pigs, donkeys, usually a calf and more!























Want to getout some aggression? Smash a truck!



The girls had a great time together!








This was a ride that Logan did repeatedly. Instead of "Freak Out", I thought it should have been called "Insane"! That big arm swung all the way back and forth to where they were practically upside down!




It was a great time and something we look forward to every year!!

Daisies

A couple of weeks ago Ellie's Daisy troop (soon to be brownies) went to the Cameron Park Zoo and the Mayborn Children's Museum in Waco (well worth going to, by the way). We had a great (but long) day! Here are some pics! When I loaded them I did it in reverse order and didn't feel like moving them, so you may want to start at the bottom and scroll up!

The very last pic of the day!! Boy were they tired little girls!




Cool bubble stuff!



Ellie's favorite dress-up as a prairie gal!











Some really cool weather stuff!




















Munching some nachos!










Up close and personal with a jaguar!







Our little monsters!
