to be a kid

remember how fun going to a festival was when we were little kids. not a care in the world? the kids and i hooked up with our 'deployment buddies' - theresa and elias - and went to a local festival this past saturday. theresa's husband, eric, is a pilot in the us army and is currently keeping us safe through his efforts in afghanistan. theresa and i ran a 5k first, then the kids had a blast riding rides, petting the animals and just goofing around. oh to be a kid again!
