There's more than corn in El Paso!

This weekend Olivia, Joey, and I went to the El Paso Corn Festival. We went up on Friday night with mom and Jim and meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Sennott, Kelly and Rick, Jake and Stephanie, Dad and Patty. We all sat down to a delicious spaghetti dinner, then Grandma and Grandpa Sennott treated Olivia and Joey to ride bands so they could ride any ride they wanted! Joey LOVED riding the cars with his big sister and also enjoyed the "horsies." Olivia loved the jumping house, the roller coaster, and the "horsies." We ended the night with a yummy ice cream treat and headed to Grandma's house for a sleepover.


On Saturday, we went back to El Paso for the Corn Festival Parade. Olivia and Joey made a killing with candy! They were 2 out of 4 kids in the area, so they got a ton of candy. They also got a new beach ball and bouncy ball at the parade (they give out interesting things at parades now a days). Olivia and Joey had their first popsicles and enjoyed every bite! Believe it or not, Olivia is 3 1/2 years old and has not had a popsicle. Joey also had his first taste of Tootsie Roll.

After the parade, Olivia, Joey, and I met with dad and Patty for lunch. We ate at my old stomping grounds, Woody's. I waitressed there for three years in college. After lunch, we went out to the farm and rode the four-wheeler. Needless to say, Livi and Joey had a blast!

A BIG thank you to grandma and grandpa for the delicious spaghetti dinner and for treating Livi and Joey to a night full of rides. We really enjoyed ourselves this weekend! Thank you also to Grandma and Jim, Grandpa and Patty, Jake and Stephanie, Kelly and Rick for helping to make the Corn Festival so fun for Livi and Joey.
