TO A GREAT WEEKEND

We had a perfect weekend. It was extra specially because big Ricky had Sat and Sun off. This is rare, so we're so excited when he's home for both days. On Sat we went to Kings Orchard and picked lots and lots of strawberries. So much that I had to make a strawberry pie. Definitely no complaints. It was so good. I think we ate the whole thing in 1 night. Well big Ricky and I ate the whole thing, except for the 2 pieces the kids got. We tried so hard to save them some. Just couldn't. I'll make them a strawberry parfait tomorrow when Ricky gets home from school. The rest of the day was spent at home just relaxing.
Sunday was our big day, the one lil Ricky has been waiting for. We went to  The Houston's Children's Festival. It's the largest children's festival in the United States. It's put on for a very good cause, The Child Advocate.
Lil Ricky wanted to go because one of the stars from his favorite Disney TV Show, Shake It Up was going to be there.Roshon Fegan.  It's also the #1 rated tv show on Disney right now . If you know Ricky he loves singing and dancing so he was super excited. We made sure to get to the stage early so we could get a good spot .We did, Ricky was right by the stage. It was so exciting when he came out and how close Ricky was to him. He could of literally touch his shoe if he wanted. Roshon played interacted very well with the crowd. Touched many lil girls hand. It was so funny watching all these girls scream. My poor son was caught right in front.I thought he was going to get trampled by all these screaming girls. But he made it unharmed. Whew! After the performance we stood in a crazy long line to get his autograph and picture. During this time daddy  took Hana to get her face painted.
We also caught a circus act. Very entertaining. I just think it's crazy how families decide that they want to travel and be in the circus. Non-the less the performance was great. It's crazy what these people can do. 
The rest of the time we walked the booths and played games or received free stuff and/or brochures.
When we got home, we grilled burgers and enjoyed a nice dinner outside. It was a perfect weekend. I wish all weekends were like this
