The Lobster Festival, and Soapbox Races
Here are some pictures from two activities we did just before we moved. Ryan heard about a "lobster festival" down at Long Beach, and since he loves nothing more than dismembering crustaceans, we went to take a look. It was more like a fleamarket/farmers market with cheap lobster plates for sale on one end, but it was fun. We watched a dog costume contest (pretty weird), and the kids went down yet another giant inflatable slide. Actually, I think this was Elise's first time doing that. The slide worker lady quickly saw that Elise had no idea what to do, so she helped her to the top. After that, you can see that her brother lent a helping hand, it was cute.
The next weekend or so, Ryan took Connor downtown to watch the Red Bull Soapbox Races. Elise and I were invited, but I was stressed trying to pack stuff up, and the fact that it was about a million degrees outside didn't make me want to go stand around downtown with two crabby kids and smell other people's sweat. I stayed home and packed. I guess the boys had a lot of fun, though. The races went right past Ryan's building, so they were able to go inside and enjoy the view and air conditioning for awhile.

I looooove lobster. With lots of butter. Come to think of it, I love lots of butter, period. Anyhoo, Connor was very noble showing Elise the "inflatables" rules. And he looks way cute at the soapbox races. And though it sucks you had to stay home and pack, as a mom, sometimes just some home time to yourself is just what you need.
Uh, was that Falkor, the Luck Dragon from Never Ending Story? Sooo cool.
Why, yes, it was Falcor! I guess there were some pretty creative cars - although there were some kinda creepy ones. Apparently there was at least one "pole dancer" car on display.
That's pretty awesome. Connor looks so pleased to be a real life fireman.
Also, I sometimes forget that you are pregnant. In fact, there's so little evidence in its favor that I've decided that it's most likely not true.
