Festival & Maggie

We finally ventured out of the house today to go see what a local festival had to offer.  Most of them are about the same & this one was nothing different.  Well, except for the boat races on the river.  We got there just in time to watch the race.  I was a little scared being that close to the river & the boats going so fast!  I've seen those shows about how the boats lose control & fly into the crowd, etc!!  Yikes!
The skies were dark & gray, but fortunately no rain came while we were there.  It was actually a good time to go with the breeze & clouds!

Since Addison has been sick she has only seen her BFF Maggie from a distance through the kitchen window.  Well, today when we got home, Maggie & her family were just getting home too.  It was one of the sweetest sights I've ever seen!  I pointed out to Addison that Maggie was outside & Maggie's dad pointed out to Maggie that Addison was outside.  When they saw each other it was like a scene from a movie.  They started running towards one another & finally met up in the middle of our neighbors yard.  Addison patted Maggie on the back as if to say 'nice to see you old friend' & Maggie was telling Addison all about MDO (since Addy hasn't been in forever).  HILARIOUS!!!  I love it!  I'm so happy Addy is doing better & can now play with her friends again.  Maggie also gave Addy a birthday present.  She got some jammies & a Wonder Pets sticker/coloring book!  Thanks Maggie & family :)  We are so lucky to have you in our life!
