Bluebonnet Festival

We traveled to Burnet over the past weekend to the Bluebonnet Festival. It was beautiful to see the highways lined with wildflowers again, and we finally got to see my parents' new lakehouse! Friday night we just enjoyed the views of the lake as we waited for everyone to get into town, and then we roasted marshmallows. I think Blake ate about 8 or so, little sneak would eat them from the bag behind every one's backs.... Saturday morning we went up to the festival for all the fun! It was a windy, overcast day, but we had fun watching the rubber duck race, going to the car show (how cute is this bumper car turned car?!), watching the parade, playing at the playground, eating fair-food, riding the carnival rides and looking at the festival booths.
We went back to the lakehouse for naptime, and Tim, Travis and I headed back to the festival to watch Six Market Boulevard and the Bart Crow Band. Great weekend!! Can't wait til it gets warm enough to swim this summer!

Easton was itching to get out of the stroller and get onto the rides. He rode the carousel and a train ride, and Blake was picking out rides that we knew would be too scary. With the exception of the giant slide, she had a ball!

(I wrote this post almost a week later, and all Blake has been talking about is the princesses she saw in the parade. Not the festival princesses in gowns with tiaras waving from the floats, but she means the cowgirl princesses! There were some kind of rodeo girls or cowgirls in the parade with bows and ribbons on their horses. She keeps asking if she can be a cowgirl princess when she grows up!!)
