9/30/07--Hoboken Art and Music Festival

Today was the Hoboken Art and Music Festival. Amanda really enjoyed the kid area this time. She saw a bunch of her friends, listened to Music Together performers, a juggling act, and PolkaDot the Clown. We also did spin art--a big thank you to Katherine Durkin for the ticket! Amanda went down the big slide--I wasn't sure she was going to do it--she was getting scared climbing up the ladder part--but she did it. She got off and said she was scared but happy that she did it. We also did a balloon air ride/game. It had air circulating balloons inside a big blow up clown--which she loved.

We then headed to the Hudson Tea bldg. to meet up with Cousin Fran (we saw cousin Krystle too for a quick hello) for the Toll Brothers bbq picnic and kid fest. Fran lives in the Tea bldg. For 5.oo each adult which benefited the boys and girls club--we had a great bbq. They also provided face painting for the kids, balloon animals, free ice cream, bouncy house, silent auction and an awesome singer who specialized in Sinatra, Buble, etc. It was relaxing--well there is no such thing as relaxing with two kids 3 and under. but it was nice. We ran into Alexander and Olivia there too. Amanda calls Alexander--Alexiaver! so funny. Amanda had a butterfly painted on one arm and a blue snake painted on the other arm??!!
