Such a great day! We got the kids loaded up this morning and headed south to Hope for the annual Watermelon Festival - what can be better than an entire festival celebrating Carlisle and my favorite fruit?! Despite the heat (a recurring theme these days), we had a great time exploring through the arts & crafts vendors and eating fair food. The kids had their first funnel cake and corndogs today and loved them both! Jackson also loved the fresh-squeezed lemonade and eventually stole the whole cup from me.
We got to see our friends, the Brights, who are literally world famous for their watermelons. Seriously - they are in the Guinness Book of World Records and are watermelon celebrities :) They had their award winning melon on display, so we had to get a family pic:
Strangely enough, none of the food vendors were selling watermelon... What the heck?! We started to head back to the car, seriously depressed, then saw a huge set-up featuring ice-cold watermelon! Yay!! The kids and I set up a little picnic under a tree while Kendal went to get us a slice. The "slice" was literally half a melon for just $1 - fantastic!! The perfect ending to the perfect summer festival!

You're smarter than I was...I took Zoe to our church watermelon fellowship and guess what color shirt she was wearing? WHITE...red and blue can handle the drippage. But white...not so much.
