A Jam packed weekend!

This weekend was busy, busy, busy.  We headed to NJ on Saturday morning to spend the day with the other De Angelos and Nonna and Pop-pop.  We spent the morning just hanging out and playing and then Doug and Katie made us a delicious lunch and dessert was compliments of Nonna.  It was nice to not be hosting.  :)

Ring around the rosey with Gianna.  All the kids and I were doing it prior to this and Jack still wanted to do it after Mark and Isabella had quit, so Gianna graciously accepted a couple more turns.  After she was done she instructed Jack to hold his own hands and do it by himself. Hilarious!

In the afternoon, we headed down to a community festival where it started pouring right about the time we got to the field.  So we got a little (or a lot) wet, but we had a great time!

The boys rode the train with the mommies.  It definitely would have been more fun without all the rain...Mark didn't love it. Jack kept saying "I like the rain" but I am not so sure that is really how he felt.



They also had free pony rides, and since it was raining and there weren't as many kids Isabella got to go twice around and then she got back in line for another turn.  She loved riding the pony.


She and Gianna were also excited about the bouncy houses they had.  There were several of them.


Isabella found it pretty challenging to climb this in the rain because she wanted to go too fast. Gianna got it on the first try.

There were also little games and swag at tents.


On the drive home that night Isabella said her favorite part was the "festiball"!  The day was a success!

Sunday Chris and Cristina drove up and met us at church at 9 am and then spent the day.  Chris and Cristina helped us makeover Isabella's room and we played a lot with cousin David.  They decided to stay for dinner and Father Bob was previously scheduled for dinner so we all shared a lovely meal. We had duck with plum sauce and chicken with plum sauce...delicious!  And I made another rhubarb pie.

The kids were done eating dinner, but the adults still wanted to talk so the kids caught an episode or two of Team Umizoomi.
