It was the first annual "Back to school" event at the Kinmundy Park. (In otherwords, it was the first time for this event. )There was not a very good turn out. It was Sunday afternoon and very hot and humid. Here are a few pictures though of what was going on.
Face painting was very popular.
There was lots of food, but not lots of people.
Wild Bill was there with his lemonade stand, which was why I was there taking these pictures.
Alien girl..
The turtle race, which consisted of two contenders. BTW, the small turtle won, since the larger turtle went right to the edge of the finish line, and then turned around...and never crossed.
The blow up jumpy thing is always fun for the kids too.
Some decided to play basket ball.
Will Bill's lemonade was a big hit, as always. During the afternoon there was a gospel group, then in the evening a rock band played. It was steamy all day, a promise of a storm, so around 6:00, sure enough it started storming and then turned into a steady rain. The rock band was under a pavillion, so they kept playing, nearly everyone left, but the event kept going as planned.
I left around 3:30, and when I went back at 7:30, I took this picture of some kids dancing in the rain. Soory it's blurred, but I was trying to hold an umbrella. There was a group of about 20 people under another pavillion and a group of 10 under another. Other than that the park was empty. So, it was kind of a bust, but all is not perfect in an imperfect world.
At least these young girls had fun dancing in the rain.
We worked in the garden today, cleaning up a zillion weeds, digging potatoes. Since we were outside all day anyway, we built a fire in our great little fire pit, and I cooked up a pot of chili, corn bread and coffee. It was delicious.
Sally was giving me the stare-down, guess she wants some chili, she's wagging her tail, so she must be pretty sure she will be dining with us today.
Tomatoes and peppers straight from the garden made this really tasty.
