Riverfest Weekend

We spent the entire weekend at Riverfest ("a barbeque cook-off and musical extravaganza") at Ingall's Harbor on the Tennesee River. Jody literally cooked all weekend and the kids and I ate! Banks and Jody started setting up their Full of Bologna team's tent on Thursday afternoon with all the guys. Banks got his team t-shirt that night and immediately put it on. When I picked him up to go home that night, he informed me that I needed to have it washed and dried for him to wear to school the next day. Friday afternoon/night we spent celebrating Jason Gantt's 34th Birthday. The kids ate hot dogs, played in the blow-up toys and dancing to the music. The adults ate wings, brats, potato salad, slaw and smoked bologna (of course)! After the kids and I chased the man selling the glow sticks all over the park, we knew we needed some rest! You should have seen the dirt I scrubbed off them and of course I had to wash Banks' t-shirt that night so he could wear it again on Saturday. The kids and I made it back out there on Saturday just in time to sample all the food the team turned in for the competition...it was pretty delightful! (Congrats to our friends at Jiggy Piggy for taking the Grand Championship!) The kids played with all their friends and the adults watched the Auburn and Alabama games. I looked up once on Saturday and Mary Reese was at the keg playing bar maid...it was hilarous! The kids and I made it to the end if the Auburn game before we were exhausted (note the last picture if Banks). So Banks and I finished watching the Alabama game in the comforts of my bed! We thought we were going to pull it out at the end...we tried to cheer them on! I can't wait to take them both to the game in a few weeks! We ended the weekend with a quick visit from Baby Carter on his way back to Indianapolis! It is amazing to see the change in him in just one week and I can't believe he will be a month old tomorrow!
