Germantown Festival

We headed out to the Germantown Festival on Sunday afternoon to check out the weenie dog races as well as let the kids have some fun. Two friends from our small group at church, Harriet and Chase Turk have a cute weenie dog named Oscar. They decided to enter him in both the costume contest and the races. He placed second in the costume contest dressed as a vegas showgirl and he did not fare as well in the races. The girls then wanted to ride some rides. Anna has been dying to do this jump contraption ride that they have at the mall, and had at the Delta Fair and had at this festival. We finally said ok. So, during the wait in line for that ride (Gary opted to wait with Anna), Caroline did 2 moon bounces, an obstacle course, got a snowcone for Anna, a snowcone for herself and some water for Gary. So, now can you tell how long the wait was? Anna was thrilled. Aftewards, she and Caroline rode the swings before some cotton candy. Overall, fun time. Wish I could have shopped some. Did not happen this year as we had a busy Saturday. There's always the Cordova Festival and the Hope Market Square as well as Merry Marketplace and the Mistletoe Merchants all coming up quickly!!
