March 2013 Madness: KidsFest Part 1 (The Fun)

  The first weekend in March Joel's Grandpa came up for a visit. So, we

decided to have some fun the three of us. The weather was half way decent so we chose to take a trip to DesMoines. They were having kids fest. It was worth the drive and the money to see my son have so much fun. All focus was on him. He loved it so much. There were things for every age. Games, Arts and Crafts, inflatable rides, snacks, different characters were there, and different buisness. It cost to get in about $7.00 each, which to see my son have a blast it was worth it every penny. Some things did cost while much of it was free

Making Sand Art

Finish Product

   
   The first art craft he did was sand art. He loves Green Bay Packers so he decided to make a Green Bay Packers character. He loved doing it. He used Green and Yellow, but through a little black in there next to yellow. He said it is for my other favorite team "IOWA HAWKEYES".

Spin Art

   The next art craft Joel did was spin art. He had done it before at the Iowa State Fair before with cardboard. This time it was a fresbe. He was so proud of his art job. I didn't get a picture of him and the final product but he was so happy with what he did. He can't wait for weather to be nice to play with it outside.

Finish Family Art Project

  The next art activity was one that Joel and I did together. We were to make a family flag. We both got our hands painted, and then lay it on some fabric. Joel helped press my hand down, and then I helped him. It was a fun art project that we did together. It helped me come up with a fun art project for this summer. I am going to get some fabric and fabric paint and make a quilt with it. I might make a big quilt for our grandparents to put on their bed.

 Joel also got to enjoy some games and sporty challenges. His favorite was the Big Dart throw, and kicking the soccer ball. He was so proud of himself on how well he did. He loves soccer alot. Wished that I could of got him on a team this year, but couldn't well there is always next year.
