Big Brave Kae

Today we decided to go to the Boulder Creek Festival. It was not supposed to rain until the afternoon so we thought we had time to go in the morning. I didn't realize that the Bolder Boulder would close off half the city. We ended up parking a little ways away. I wasn't exactly sure where on the creek the festival was either. We ended up finding the rides first. After checking out all the kiddie rides, Kae decided to ride the red car. (Yes, it had to be the red one.) Kae is a pretty cautious kid so I think the car ride seemed the least scary. Kae did great and had a blast!

As soon as the ride ended he said, "Mommy I ride the spaceship". The spaceships were right next to the cars but they go up and down and round and round. He wasn't sure about them until after he realized how fun the cars were. He wanted to ride the red spaceship, of course, but it was broken so he rode the purple spaceship with another little girl. The ride attendants loved him! He was smiling and singing while he was riding the spaceship. He was also putting both his hands in the air and giving them high-5's when he would go past.

After the spaceship ride ended, Kae told me, "Mommy I ride the dragon". The dragon is a dragon shaped kids roller coaster. When we first go to the festival I asked Kae if he wanted to ride the dragon and he said no. He was way too scared to even try it. But after all the fun he had on the car and the spaceship I guess he figured the dragon ride must be fun too. It was a little after noon at this point and Izy was starting to get a little hungry and fussy. so I told Kae he could ride the dragon after lunch. While we were looking for food it started raining really hard. We ended up under the eaves of a nearby building to eat. Kae and Izy both had chicken on a stick. Technically Kae had chicken on a stick and izy had little pieces of chicken I took off the stick and cut up for him. They both loved it!
Unfortunately the rain made them shut down the dragon ride and we couldn't stay long enough for them to get it reopened. :( So after the rain slowed and we finished eating Kae rode the fire truck with daddy instead.
After we used up all our tokens we got some roasted corn to snack on and started our long trek back to the car. We decided to actually walk along the creek on the way back. Kae ended up eating the entire ear of corn by himself on the way to the car. I'm guessing it was tasty. Once we got home, both of the boys took great naps. We all had a great time even with the rain.
