The girls and I got to attend the Children's Festival of Reading in Knoxville today with our good friends Renee and Alex. Noah had been invited for a sleep over with his friend, Rikka, so he wasn't with us for the day. We started our day with crafts and face painting. There was Story Time where they heard a story and got to pet a turtle. The big girls thought that was pretty cool. Kate passed on the turtle touching. We got to meet Shadow, the dog, whose mama had been a rescue dog that had almost been euthanized. Four days after the mommy dog was rescued, she had 11 puppies and Shadow was one of those puppies. She was such a sweet, sweet dog. The girls enjoyed petting her and hearing her story. There was a parade of book characters led by Curious George. Kate thought the parade was pretty cool and she loved that green dinosaur/dragon guy. After doing some coloring crafts and dancing with the characters to Alice in Wonderland, we headed to the Sunsphere and got to go up to the 5th floor observation deck. The girls thought it was really cool to go up in the 'big gold ball'. I remember when I was little thinking how huge and so very tall the Sunsphere was. Undoubtedly, they most view it much the same way. I am going to have to take Noah up in it soon, so he can experience it as well. After we had done everything we could do at the festival, we headed to Chickfila for some lunch and the girls enjoyed some ice cream afterwards. It is always a good time with Renee and Alex.
