Last night we decided at the last minute to take the kids out on the town and head to a family fun event called Kidsfest. I figured Friday night would be the less attended of the three days it is going on, so that way the kids wouldn't have to stand in long lines. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but was surprised by how much there was to do for the kids. Henry loved the inflatables and Hannah loved the life sized Elmo and Big Bird. They had a blast and I'm glad we went!
Hannah spent about 10 minutes going from Big Bird and Elmo giving them both huge hugs. It was adorable. Anyone know where I can get one of these huge Elmos??
Time to give Big Bird a hug.
The kids got plenty of tattoos. Hannah actually ate the first one as it had not dried all the way, so going forward I made sure to blow on them before I let her run free.
More tattoos!
Hula hooping.
Right before we left we checked out a booth where you got three rings and you had to try and land on top of the 2 liter. Henry took all three, threw them all at once, and all three of them were ringers!! It was pretty hilarious. I'm guessing the chances of that happening again aren't very good.
First attempt at face painting. That is about as far as we got!
Both kids went on this inflatable. I didn't think Hannah would make it the entire time but she did awesome holding her own!! Henry made sure to tackle any boys that came close to her of course.
And my favorite picture - Dora!! Hannah is terribly afraid of any costumed character. I mean I got the death grip from her anytime one walked by. I thought she would be OK with Dora since we watch her shows, but oh no - she started screaming and held on to me so tight!
Over all it was a great event and I'm glad we checked it out. 100% of the proceeds go to Children and Families of Iowa, which is great.
