Rockwall Founder's Day

A couple of weekends ago we got up early and ventured downtown to Rockwall's Founder's Day festival.  We started out with a yummy breakfast from The Fatted Calf before we headed out to see all the local vendors!
Daddy feeding John Thomas his breakfast before ours arrived!
Koen helped Benjamin complete his coloring sheet!
We got a good laugh out of Abe enjoying his first lemon! Love all his facial expressions!

 They had a great kid's area with lots of games and activities for Koen.  He started on this neat ladder that was suspended from the end of an inflatable and he had to climb it to the top without falling off!  It took a few tries of being thrown off, but he did finally make it to the top!


The next challenge he chose was a giant palm tree, he mastered climbing to the top in no time! 




We had a great time enjoying the weather and live music, not to mention great food! 

Waiting on Koen to finish his games!  John Thomas was resting for a bit!

Taking a break in the shade!


We love having Ken and Mandy close by!  I can't wait for John Thomas to grow up with his three cousins that are all within a year of each other!
After walking the festival and going in many shops downtown, we decided to take a little break and enjoy some ice cream and snacks at the Malt Shop!  I didn't have a hot dog, but from what I understand, they were amazing!  As were the root beer floats, vanilla shakes and candy :)  I chose banana pudding ice cream and it was yummy!

Sure love this boy!  Even if he is going to eat us out of house and home!

Love this big boy, too!

On every shake/float, they put these little animals on the side of the cup.  I thought they were super cute!
We love living in a town where we rarely have to leave to find something fun to do as a family!  Thankful the Lord continues to bless our lives!
