Current mood: accomplished
We really didn't have much planned for this weekend. I am still recovering from a horrible cold and Adrian is still sick. Sitting around all day at the house really didn't sound too bad, however, all that was about to change as soon as I did my morning routine.
Every morning I will quickly check the local news just to see if anything is going on. We don't have TV so unless I read the newspapers online I will be completely out of the loop of what is going on. So I was browsing the PE (the Inland Empire newspaper) when I came across a tiny article that mentioned there was going to be a big City Birthday Bash for the city of Murrieta today at a local sports park. It would have live music, food, vendors, and rides! Wow!! Murrieta is not far at all, so when Adrian woke up I told him about it. We decided to check it out in the late afternoon when it got a bit cooler outside.
When it was time to go we loaded up on some water, dressed cool and packed a TON of kleenex since we both are using it like crazy!!! Once we got to Murrieta we were shocked on how BIG it was. There were thousands of people, a huge band stand with music and more people!!!! We couldn't park in the parking lot so we parked across the street at WalGreens and walked across.
We were amazed at the amount of people all around and more and more seemed to come. We checked out the small vendor area and then found the food. They had all sorts of food! We ended sharing some GREAT nachos and some so-so lemonade. After our snack we walked around a bit more and found the ride area.
Unfortunately, all the rides were too intense for Mia. They also had about 10 HUGE jump for joys and right away Mia got excited and pointed to them. Unfortunately, again, there were too many rough and tumble older kids bouncing around in them and I didn't feel Mia would be safe if she went inside. She would get trampled on for sure! So instead we let her bounce on the outter part of one and she had a blast!!! She bounced and bounced, screaming and laughing! She had so much fun!
After walking around a bit more we let her run around in the grass area. She had just as much fun running up and down a big slope! After we let her run around a bit, it was time to go. It was getting chillier and Dada and I were both tired, so we made the trek back to the car.
Overall we had lots of fun, more than I thought we would. I am glad we all got to get out for a bit of fresh air and some nachos!!! Yum yum!!!!!
