Reasons why Maelie doesn't want summer to end

It was FINALLY Friday yesterday! I was looking forward to it all week. I was exhausted as it was quite an emotional week for various reason. To top it off, Thursday night, we had one of our chinchillas pass away and so it was a very sad time. Especially since it happened after we came home from such a fun night out at the Buskerfest. Poor Chichi Boy is resting in peace now in the comfort of our backyard. Needless to say Thursday night I barely slept, so Friday at work I was extremely tired. I came home a bit early in order to rest. Naomie had slept over so the girls were playing. They decided to fly kites today and collect snails. Here they are stopping for 2 seconds to pose. Maelie of course had to make silly eyes!



Naomie collected a small bowl full of snails. Do you see the imposter?



Here they are in the woods trying to find some more.



This was part of the loot. They are SO cute to watch walk around.

There was a big field in the school yard so they flew kites for a bit.





Naomie decided to try the water games but got really cold! Maelie didn't want to try this time. The wind had a chill even if the sun was hot.



After Naomie left, we just relaxed for a bit. I had a small nap in the living room to try and get reenergized from my lack of sleep the night before! I didn't even make a proper supper. We basically had toast and a bit of salad. I would have loved to go to bed right then and there for the night... but Maelie had other plans! She REALLY wanted to go to the Buskerfest again. So I obliged. It was an awesome evening. Though very draining spending 5 hours on pavement either walking around or standing in one spot! I figured if I sat down though, I wouldn't be getting back up! LOL When we arrived, we got to see Bendy Em. All I could say was "OUCH!"



She was really amazing and had a great personality. She entertained the crowd pretty well! She managed to squeeze her whole body in this 16 inch box. WOW! I could probably only fit my head in there!!



Fireguy was also very entertaining. and cute!



The last show of the night was the Fire Show. All the fire acts came together as one to give us an amazing show. Maelie was sitting right at the front where you could even feel the heat from the fire! I was just standing about a foot back to let the smaller kids sit in front. They kept us entertained for almost an hour!



I had to add this short clip of Inferno the human dragon who blew us away with his fire breathing!!! It was truly amazing!!!



Oh yeah, just a note that he is sideways as I can't rotate it! haha But you get the idea of the size of the flame!!

All in all it was amazing! I am so glad that I am able to bring Maelie to these events. There is always a fun message passed along during the shows. It was awesome! So many things to do , so little time!!

and this my friends... is why Maelie doesn't want summer to end!!!
