The first event was just down the street at Wolf Pen Creek, and it was called "Wienerfest". No, it wasn't a festival celebrating hot dogs and bratwurst. It celebrated those little wiener shaped dogs. The little tiny, short ones. They had a costume contest, races, best of the breed, etc... The girls were in dog heaven. They probably petted and stroked over a 100 dogs. They watched me hand out countless coupons while Tanner paraded around as Frostbite. Right next to us was a bounce house, so we were able to let them bounce to their hearts content while we schmoozed. I sent the girls home with Tanner around 1:00pm and I stayed a couple more hours handing out coupons and monitoring kids playing in the "snow".
Today, after church, I had another off-site event called Buddy Walk at the same park. It's a fundraiser for Down Syndrome Research/Awareness. This one was only a couple of hours long, so the girls managed to have lots of fun playing in the snow, going into yet another bounce house, playing with bubbles and stuff like that while Tanner and I did our thing.
I worried that it would be difficult to monitor the kids, but they all managed to stay where I told them to stay. Kate was Georgi's "buddy" so they stayed together most of the time. We had beautiful weather. It was cool in the morning, but quickly heated up to the low 80's, so it was easy to keep the kids hydrated and cool. Kate said that her favorite thing about this weekend was getting to be at work with Mommy. Reagan was just excited to get to go bouncing 2 days in a row. Georgi doesn't say much, but she slept soundly last night.
