Jubilee Day

We had a wonderful, relaxing Jubilee Day. Jubilee Day is the "largest single day street fair on the east coast". It takes up a big chunk of the downtown where my parents live. The main drag is lined with food vendors, crafts vendors, political parties, religious groups, and local music. The best thing about it is the food (although honestly I skimped on food a bit this year)

To start the day off, when Lee and I got to my parents house, Elijah wanted to hang out with his uncles and aunties rather than go down to the fair. So Lee and I took Livvy down and had a snack together. Then it was time for Lee to go to work.

So Mommi and I took the littles - Liv, Lij, Jonah, and James - down to walk the walk. It was very hot, and we shared a big lemonade and a big smoothie. We toured up and down the booths and got a few little things for the kids - balloons, beads, and little watches.

I took a detour to the library book sale. Mommi had already gone last night so she wheeled all four kids home on her own (brave) while I hiked over to the sale. Bad idea! I ended up lugging 15 pounds of used books by myself on a twenty minute walk home. Of course one of the bags broke!

Of course the books were worth it.

After Mommi fed tacos to everybody (making tacos for that many people is an incredible feat), we decided we wanted to go down to the fair one last time. So Mommi and walked down together to get ice cream cones. It was really nice, the end to a perfect day.


This is my personal rosary. It has been broken for a couple of months. Today Mommi mended it for me. You can barely even tell it was broken. That was so awesome. Thanks Mommi!!!
