What is your measure of a good weekend? Read the following description and see if you can tell what the enjoyment factor was for my family and I last weekend:
- Clean washing that awaited folding on Friday afternoon hadn't moved a muscle by Sunday afternoon.
- The amount of grime left in the bath by the Hatchlings on both Saturday and Sunday nights was an all time record.
- Every member of the family suffered the pain of our favorite mug/bottle/plate/bowl being dirty in the dishwasher when we wanted it - more than once
- The house was used only at eating and sleeping times
- Everyone is bone-crunchingly exhausted and in need of a couple of days off!
The weekend truly commenced on Friday evening with the Mum's Group BBQ at the coolest park ever in the whole world. (More on the coolest park ever in the whole world, and the great sausage fiasco some other time). Then, Saturday morning marked the start of our local festival. There was a parade, endless live music, a reptile show, billy cart derby, rock climbing, face painting, a waterslide, art, craft - you name it, it was there. I am always amazed at what a small committee of volunteers are capable of putting together for our little town. I was also amazed by this guy:
How do you do that?
The festival was colourful, dusty, noisy, dusty, hot, dusty, creative, dusty, fun, dusty, strenuous - did I mention dusty?
Thank the lord that our festival is an annual event. Amen.
