Time for a little levity this Monday morning on an incredibly busy week. After a crazy last week and a fun but full weekend I am READY to hit New Orleans on Thursday for the Mom 2.0 Summit blogging conference. Of course, I’m not actually ready…but you get me.
So on Saturday I took my boys to not one but two neighborhood festivals. The first one was called Summerfest and there were tons of booths with kid activities and I signed up for every chance to win a free week of summer camp I could find. There were a lot. Per usual at a Texas street fest there were not one, but two booths with snakes and/or other reptiles for the kids to pet. One guy had a dozen of the scary venomous kind of snakes we pray to never find in our backyard. There was also a small petting zoo and face painting.
The second festival was the Cinco Ranch Nature Adventure, designed for residents of the huge master planned community we live in. I had gone last year and had fun so I figured it was worth checking out again. They too had snakes and other animals for the kids to pet. They had championship frisbee dogs which were fun to watch. But what took the cake was the armadillo racing. You have to watch the video, the announcer is hilarious and the armadillos are kind of adorable, in that Texan way. I have yet to see one in the wild except for squished on the road…and those things look like they would damage your car if you ran over one.
God Bless Texas!
