Katy Rice Harvest Festival

So I am a little late at blogging about our weekend. Oh well. That's how I roll with the blog.

Anyhow, last weekend we met up with friends Lisa and Shanna and their little ones at the Katy Rice Harvest Festival. I know nothing about the history behind it or anything except that they shut down streets in Old Katy and vendors set up and sell things and others just kind of advertise? It was sortof weird. But anyhow, the fun part was the rickety old, slightly questionable-looking carnival rides. We were a little weary of how Perri would take to these but oh my goodness, she had a BLAST. And apparently has a love of horses. But not so much a love of getting her face painted.




The first ride we did was the carousel. But this wasn't your typical carousel, it was on full blast and that sucker was FAST. Like I got really nauseated from going so fast and up and down (and probably also because I was standing backwards to take pictures of the girls.) I get nauseated just thinking about it. Anyhow, they all loved it and when it finally stopped and we could stand up straight without puking (jk)we got the girls off to move on to the next ride. My dear child threw a huge fit and starting bawling and crying "neighhhhhh, neighhhhhh" over and over again. It was actually pretty funny.

During the fun

Posing for us after the ride. Impossible to get them all looking in the same direction.

Luckily there were more horses to be ridden, but these were real! And free! Score! Again, a huge highlight to the girls and so much fun!

Excuse the beautiful background scenery.

After the horses we moved on to ride the boats and cars. Both equally fast but they loved them nonetheless. 




Sweet girls.

After these rides and have already wandered around for an hour prior, the girls and ourselves were all hot, hungry and tired and called it a day.
