Jiggle Jam!!

Yesterday the family celebrated Memorial Day weekend by spending the morning planting flowers and spending the afternoon at the first annual Jiggle Jam. Jiggle Jam is a 2-day music festival for kids - and while we spent some time enjoying the music, we also spent a lot of time enjoying the vendors, the food, and the fountain.

One of the "activity tents" had boats that kids could decorate and then float in little "lakes". Lincoln did a great job of decorating his boat, don't you think?

Of course, no summer event is complete without ice cream. I ordered a double cone of Sheridans thinking that we could all share. Lincoln is a true Hauner, though, and promptly confiscated the cone for himself.

Luckily Lincoln is learning to share, and as long as you ask him nicely he will let you take a bite of "his" cone.

We spent some time listening to the "Justin Roberts & the Not Ready for Naptime Players" (I highly recommend them if you are sick of kid's music), and then stopped by the Crown Center fountain for some water fun (no illegal fun here - the "fountain" is meant to be played in). We actually went by the fountain several times, but Lincoln was a little too wary of the water to actually get close. This photo shows the closest that he was willing to get to one of the water spouts. Soon after this photo was taken he was splashed by another kid and he decided he was done with the fountain.
