Cold Start to May

We had a jam-packed weekend starting with our local touch-a-truck event on Friday, the start of our favorite outdoor farmers' market & a trip to the library on Saturday, and the Powell Street Market and a princess meet & greet event on Sunday.  May is always one of our busier months as it seems to be a very popular birthday month, mine included, so we always have a few birthday parties on top of  Mother's Day, end of the school year events, Daddy-Daughter dance practice for Lucy's recital, and Memorial Day.  

Despite it raining (not too hard) off & on Friday during the touch-a-truck, we still managed to walk there from our house and the girls LOVED jumping in all the puddles in their rain boots along the way

Of course they loved the library bookmobile

The school bus was also a big hit especially since there was an owl on board!

Cece got a turn too

On Saturday morning, we went to the Worthington Farmers' Market for the first outdoor one of the season and they were having a special "Green on the Green" event which focused on green & healthy alternatives; anyways, the girls were very interested in the opossums they had on display

Such a good picture of the two of them, they really are the best of friends

Girls couldn't pass up a chance to pose in this cut out

On Sunday, we walked to the Powell Street Market and the girls had to stop every few feet to pick dandelions to blow and make wishes on

Nice change to this year's street market is that they actually closed the street for the vendors so the sidewalks weren't overcrowded

followed quickly by snack break #2 (this girl loves her popcorn)

Our traditional purchase of hand squeezed lemonade and kettle corn is always a hit with the girls

Sunday afternoon we went to the grand opening of a new princess venue (we used this company for Lucy's 3rd birthday when Aurora made an appearance) and the girls were so excited to meet quite a few different princesses including Anna....

Belle

Rapunzel

and Uma (from the Descendants, Lucy's favorite)

Every 10-15 min they also had the princess interacting with all the kids by either singing or dancing

Lucy & Cece loved dancing with Uma & Poppy (the troll)
