This past Saturday we took the kids to KidsFest in Des Moines. They had a great time seeing characters, superheros, jumping in bounce houses, playing games, getting tattoos, eating popcorn, and petting a snake!
Tyler said that his favorite part of the trip was seeing Spiderman. I'm sure his "favorite" was pretty torn between Spiderman or the Star Wars guys. However, I'm sure Brady's favorite was seeing Dora!
After a fun morning at KidsFest, we made it home in time for the kids to take a good nap. Grandma Mary arrived shortly after nap. My mom had been in Florida for the week before and had just got back to Iowa on Saturday. Instead of going to her house and sleeping in her own bed after being gone for a week, she came to see us and slept on our couch. She really missed those boys and we love to have her here! She brought each of the boys back a new pair of sunglasses from Florida. They think that they are pretty cool in their new shades!
Here's some pictures of the boys at KidsFest.
Star Wars guys were the first "characters" that we saw. The boys were pretty amazed to begin with. Brady didn't last up close for long. He was a bit scared of these guys.
Tyler, on the other hand, could have stayed and hung out with these guys the whole morning. He was loving it!
Brady's very own "superhero," Dora! As we were waiting in line, he would peek under the bar and yell, "Dora, over here! Dora, over here!" He was so happy to see Dora! And, no, we weren't the only ones with boys in line. And hey, this kid is learning Spanish! :)
Tyler got in his hug first. He was also pretty excited to see Dora. He stood and looked at her for awhile after he gave her a hug and then he also gave her a high five. He had such a huge smile on his face!
Brady probably outwore his welcome with Dora. And the people in line behind us were probably getting impatient. He would give her a high five, and then hug, and then high five, and then hug, and so on, until we finally had to carry him away. He waved and yelled 'bye' to Dora with such a happy face! His day was made!
Brady hugging Dora. He had such a happy day because he got to see and hug Dora!

And Brady with Spiderman.
After looking at KidsFest information online, we knew that there was going to be this 8 foot tall robot there. We showed the boys a video of this robot and they thought it was pretty cool. The morning before we left, that was all Tyler would talk about. He was just so excited to go to KidsFest to see the robots! Well, guess what? The robot scared him and made him cry! He didn't like that the robot would walk towards us. It scared him. He actually said, "I want to go home!"
So, instead of continuing to watch the robot, we went back to the Star Wars guys! :)
One last stop at the Star Wars guys before we left. We had to dry the tears and make a smile on that face again!
