Poppy Festival

Sunday, April 25th the whole family went to the Poppy Festival.
First stop, the Aerospace exhibit.

Daddy, Madison, and Kennedy explored the thermal imaging area.

Then Madison visited with an astronaut

before becoming one herself

Check out the cool inflatable F-18 Hornet behind her.

Daddy had to get in on the NASA action, too.

Next we found a cool guy with an experimental plane.

The girls thought it was fun to 'fly' it. (Daddy really wanted to jump in the pilot seat, too- but he refrained)
After checking out a few craft booths we went to the playground to get out some energy.

Then met up with Daddy's co-worker and friend, Thad and his wife Gargi and their 6 month old cutie, Maya.

Face painting, balloon animals, and a bag of cotton candy later, we were ready to head home.

We saw Captain Jack, ate some fair food (fair is a generous description), visited wild animals, and enjoyed time with friends.
If we are still here next year, we won't go back during Madison's nap time. (wink, wink)
