A Magic Weekend

Magic Week Festivities

Annabelle on her way to the arts and crafts fair in town. This is what I'd consider a pretty typical Annabelle "getup". The boots are very essential to her wardrobe.
This "princess dress" is also an essential item in Annabelle's wardrobe. This is on our way home from the book sale at the library. They wanted to play in the rain so we walked to the library in a drizzle and played in the puddles on the way home.

Bennett didn't waste any time getting down and dirty in the mud.

This afternoon we dog sat my aunt and uncle's adorable puppy, Lacey.

She was so much fun to have around. We walked her into town to enjoy some magic of her own while her family was at the big magic show at the high school.

She was loved by many...especially the Colon cheerleaders who were supposed to be selling chicken dinners. Can you find Lacey?

And because we needed to get out of the house, we ended our night with a trip to a new 50's diner in Sturgis. And Sharar's...yes, Annabelle is wearing the princess dress you brought her today. She put it on the second you left :)!

And something I could kick myself for...we walked to town yesterday afternoon to check things out. We were enjoying the busking competition (new magicians competing on the street for votes). We were watching a magician and she asked for a brave volunteer who was tough and strong. Bennett raised his hand and she picked him. He stood right by her as she put a cowboy handkerchief around his neck, let him pick a card from her deck, had him show everyone and then she shot a little gun. Boy did Bennett jump. The magician told Bennett that his card would have a hole and black on it from the gun and sure enough it did. It was really cute, and he did great, and I'm so mad I didn't have my camera!!
