Riverfest

I love the summer activities in Reno! This weekend was the Reno Riverfest. There were booths, great food, amazing kayakers, and best of all...SUNSHINE! I took Jackson and Ashton to the festivities on Friday morning. We had a great time. Jackson got to throw rocks. Here are the kids on rocks by the river. There was only one major catastrophe...Jackson received a yellow balloon from one of the vendors. We tied it around his wrist, and walked all the way back to the car without complication. Then, just as I was getting Jackson into the car, the balloon came off his wrist. It was like slow motion...watching...reaching...reaching...praying...and seeing the balloon floating higher and higher. Then came the sobs. Luckily I had a spare balloon at home from one of Jackson's previous haircuts, so we avoided complete disaster. I told him the balloon went to Nebraska. So, if any of our Nebraska friends spot a yellow balloon, send it back our way!

Ashton sitting on the rocks watching Jackson. She wasn't very excited about sitting on the rocks by herself.

The kayakers. I am sooo not that brave!

Jackson in HEAVEN and throwing his fill of rocks.
