Riverfest 2013 and a look at past Riverfests

We celebrated another Riverfest this past weekend.
It was a fun weekend because Courtney, Paul, the girls, Lissa, and Nathan were all here.
It was such a pleasant surprise to have Lissa and Nathan here.  Originally, Alissa was supposed to be leaving Sunday for a business trip to Kansas City, but as a final gift to her, John's dad died and she was able to bow out of the trip.
She did not want to go and the timing of the memorial service was perfect.
We went down to Riverfest on Saturday.
The girls enjoyed some rides and we all enjoyed some good food and beer.
 
I always enjoy taking a look back at Riverfests past, so here we go on a walk down memory lane.
This is Tizita at her first Riverfest back in 2009.
She has a tic tac in her mouth.
Funny thing is that Soli loves to get tic tacs from Gigi and we had forgotten that Tiz used to enjoy tic tacs, too.
This is Tiz dancing to the music at that first Riverfest.
Here she is at her second Riverfest in 2010.
She rode some rides with her friend Aaron.

Here she and Aaron enjoy a ride on the teacups.
2011-Tizita and her friends, Sinai and Aquila danced together to the fun music.

 
2012-Tizita enjoyed the festivities with her friend Ava.
Here is Soliana at her first Riverfest-2012
And finally, Riverfest 2013.
Paul had to ride these cars with Soliana.
Such a good papa.
Nic wanted to take Tizita on the bumper cars.
What fun she had!
Soli fell asleep right in the middle of the midway.
Nic did some shooting.
He was so happy to win Tizita a cute stuffed puppy.
After the shooting, Tizita tried to break balloons with darts.
Here we are with our prizes.
Notice the popular bubble gun which was a much sought after prize this year.
Tiz had lots of fun and did a great job climbing the rock wall.
It was a fun filled few days.
We were all glad to have this time together before we had to attend Jack's memorial
service and say our good-byes to him.
