I’m graduating!!! (Well, from preschool that is!)

I even had to walk across a bridge to receive my (preschool) diploma…

and threw my hat up in the air for the grand finale!

Plus I had to have my picture taken with lots of different people…okay, not really that many. Regardless, it felt like a real graduation. Kindergarten here I come!!!

BUT FIRST….

BRATFEST!!! We once again beat last year’s record and are now over 200,000 brats sold for the weekend. Now that’s a lot of brats!

Check out how many people they have cooking the brats! P.S. Did I mention it was close to 90 and EXTREMELY humid???

That didn’t stop us though!

After the yummy brats (and hot dog) Mama, Auntie Robyn and I went to the carnival area. I had a chance to throw 3 darts and pop a balloon and not only did I pop one on my first try, but the balloon that I popped was marked with “large prize”. Isn’t the froggy the cutest?

I had to take a bathroom break. Mama said not to touch anything, but really I think going to the bathroom inside of a closed dark vessel is really cool!

Yes, I really made Auntie Robyn jump into the pit of slimy balls!!

Whoops! I wasn’t quite ready and neither was the carnie or Auntie Robyn!!

Mama said this was going to be tricky, but she must have been teasing me…this is sooo easy!

*bonk* Ouch! I guess it’s harder than it looks!

It took a little bribe to get me on this Dragon roller coaster, but once I was done I was ready to do it again!

Can I be a pilot in a plane with air conditioning instead?

I don’t know about you, but I’m beat!

So, Mama got this really great idea to have a BBQ on Memorial Day weekend and then invited 26 families to the bash! And of course she just HAD to make fresh lemonade! All I could do was keeping asking “are we done yet???”

After 3 trips to the grocery store (by different people) we finally had enough lemons to make 32oz of juice and 2 gallons of lemonade with lemon wedge garnishes! What a job!

We also made a huge double batch of texas-cavier—it was to die for!! You’ll have to email Mama if you want the secret recipe!

Papa manned the grill (and smoke)—who knew that 1/2 pound (oops) burgers would create so much smoke???

All in all the party was a huge success! Thank you to all of our party-goers!

Check out all of the yummy food we had!

And what better way to end the night than with a fire and some s’mores??? I asked Mama if we could have a party again next weekend and all she did was stare at me. What the biscuit???

Last, but not least, we went curbside at a friend’s house to watch the Cross Plains’ Memorial Day parade.

What a great way to end a great weekend! Thank you for coming to check out my latest post. I think Mama is finally getting all caught up. We even had to get her a new drive just for photos because she keeps running out of space on her computer!! We hope everyone had a great May and we can’t wait to share June with you too! Until next time…
