The Arts Alive Festival came downtown again this year. Abi has been waiting for it ever since it ended last year. She constantly talked about getting her face painted and going on a horse ride (actually it was a horse-drawn carriage). Well, she did get her face painted again this year, this time on both cheek, but unfortunately missed out on the carriage ride. The line was too long, then when we came back it was time for the horses to rest.
Abi almost went for a ride on this trackless train (pulled by a lawn mower), but as soon as the engine started and they were ready to leave, she screamed "NOOO!!"

The conducter graciously gave her ticket back and Abi thoroughly enjoyed the moon-bounce instead.

The icing on the cake, the perfect ending to the day...one chocolate cupcake with a large gummy butterfly on top. What more could a 3-yr-old ask for?
