A fun and spiritual day

Today we had to devide our time between two wonderful events. The Madison Street Festival and General Conference. We started out our day at the festival. The parade was as 8:45 so we started out early. We are lucky enough to live within walking distance of the festival, as a matter of fact, as we were walking out of our neighborhood people we already parking along the street right outside, so we would have only saved ourselves about 150 yards by driving! We met up with our friends the Blakely's while on our way so we walked together. The kids enjoyed the candy part of the parade, but it was kind of lame if you ask me. After that we walked around the streets and checked out all the booths. Ella got to see some "princesses" and some star wars people. We saw a bunch of our friends from church and other places there as well. The kids got to go into a free petting zoo and Wes LOVED the animals. Ella wanted to go on the free pony ride as well, but the line was L-O-N-G and we didn't want to wait. After a couple of hours at the fair we walked home and then went out to lunch at CiCi's pizza. Then home for naps and watching General Conference in streaming video on-line. While Jon and Dad headed over to the priesthood session at the church building, Mom and I put the kids to bed and then had popcorn and watched "the blind side" It was a cute movie. now it is time for bed and more General Conference tomorrow.
