This past weekend, the kids and I went to Clarksdale for the Juke Joint Festival and to also celebrate Sydni and Maddi's 13th birthday!! We had a great time at the festival. We met Hayes, Haley, Reece, and Bevo there and of course Hayes and Kendall became fast friends again! We went to the petting zoo, walked the streets listening to music and eating, and we let the kids get in the big "balls" and float on the water. It was a 2 hour wait (literally), but they had so much fun doing it! It was a fun festival and we enjoyed hanging out with the McCarra's! Aunt Karen and Cash were there for a while, along with Sydni and Maddi! Kendall was so excited to see her cousins!

Sam didn't much care for the festival!
Feeding the animals! She loved it!
Brushing and grooming the Llama! I think she would love to be a veterinarian as much as she loves animals!

Fast BFF's!
After the 2 hour wait, we finally got a turn at the balls on the water! Here are Kendall, Hayes, and Ann Wylie in the ball while they are blowing it up! They absolutely loved it!

That night, we celebrated Syd and Mad's 13th birthday. I took Kendall to pick out the cupcakes and of course she picked the JUSTIN BIEBER cupcakes! AAAHHH! She is obsessed with him! Anyway, the girls thought it was so funny!
