Church festivals are HUGE in Cincinnati. This was something new to me as my church picnic growing up was nothing like a Cincinnati church festival. There are games, music, food, beer, gambling and carnival rides! Beer and gambling at church...my husband is in heaven! Just about every Catholic church has one throughout the summer making for some great family weekends.
We decided to take Allie to the festival at our church. She had an absolute ball. She played a few games, got her hand painted (instead of her face), played a little bingo and got to taste her first bite of orange sherbert! She even came home with a few prizes that she won playing the games. It was a nice family night out and we're looking forward to taking her again next year.

Yum...orange sherbert!
After our trip to Florida, we came home to quickly do laundry and hit the road for my sister's wedding. We headed to North Carolina on Tuesday night to help with some final preparations. We had a wonderful time hanging out in Raleigh with Kelsey and her friends for a few days before heading down to the wedding site. Allie tried to steal Aunt Kelsey's wedding shoes, but Aunt Kelsey got them back.
Congratulations Kelsey and Marshall! May you have a long and happy life together filled with lots and lots of babies!
