Herndon Festival 2009

This past weekend, I took the kids to the Herndon Festival. It was our 5th year in a row going - the weather was really nice, not too hot at all - and the girls behaved well and took turns choosing which ride to go on. Because I can't help but be nostalgic, here are pictures of Emma's first ride on the dragon (she was 21 months old) and her now - my how she's grown!

And here's Alexa, at 1, riding the dragon - and her this year:

On this next ride, the car goes very slowly, but then whips around the curve at warp speed, giving the kids whiplash. If you click on the picture below to enlarge it, you can see Emma and Alexa screaming their heads off at the turn:

My dad treated the girls to a snow cone after we were done with rides...
