Volksmarch festival

After a long week of being sick, Lily is finally feeling better this weekend. She had a pretty nasty virus and missed the whole week of preschool. She still has a cough, but otherwise is doing well.

Fort Bragg held a "Volksmarch Festival" on Saturday - it was a 10k walk (we didn't do that part) and some activities, music and kids area. Lily didn't like the oompa band music, so we went straight for the kids area, which was just a couple of bouncy houses. But it was free, and not too crowded, so - good deal!!

She wasn't so sure at first - usually she wants someone to go in with her. But there were only like 2 other kids in there, so I told her to go ahead.

And she had fun jumping, of course.

Then we painted a pumpkin. Lily picked out a pumpkin and dove right into the paints. She painted a face on the pumpkin all by herself, then added some glitter to the wet paint. I showed her how to use a sponge to sponge paint, and we added some "hair". I think it turned out pretty good!!

Waiting for it to dry.

And, here is the finished product proudly displayed :-) It adds a bit of color to my rental-white walls!!
