cherry blossom festival

Last Saturday, Nathan, Caroline, and I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon with Grandma and Granddad (Daddy was helping somebody move). We had a good time at Central City Park. Nathan, Grandma and Granddad watched the bengal tiger show while I fed Caroline in the car. Then, we wondered around enjoying the various activities including the Home Depot build something for kids table, the disc dog competition, and the playground. We also attempted to win some things. Nathan spun an Applebee's prize wheel and won a $25 gift certificate. We also won a Geico t-shirt. We found out afterwards that Nathan's name had been drawn to win a pair of skate shoes. We'll go pick them up tomorrow...and see if we can trade them for something he can actually use at the moment. It was a nice day and very profitable. :) Afterwards, we headed over to the Macon Downtown Airport for the airshow. I will soon be posting airshow pictures on my blog page...so check there later today. Here are a few pictures from our day:

Caroline at the airshow (about the only time we saw her face all day).

Yes, Grandma is holding Caroline...that was her spot for hours!


Granddad was teaching Nathan how to throw the frisbee.

Sounds like a lot of fun! How far away is Macon? So, what was the project that you guys made?

Fun day - but cold I'm guessing?! Was it Nathan's first time at an air show?

Macon is about 30 minutes north of us. We actually haven't made it yet, but the project is a firetruck bank. He actually wanted to make a bird house, but they ran out.

When we first got there it was quite cold because the wind was blowing pretty strong and it was cloudy. Once the sun came out, though, it was only chilly when the wind really got going. By the afternoon when we were at the airshow, it was warm enough to go without a coat.

This was Nathan's second airshow. The first was quite different, though, since it had fast, loud fighter planes. (The first was at the Airforce Base here in town.)

Nathan is a lucky boy. We used to go to the festival with my grandparents if we were in town; I don't remember it ever being warm.
