Rib Fest 2011

Rib Fest is a holiday at our house. Especially for Isaac. He LOVES ribs. So when we missed the Charleston Rib Fest, due to being in Utah. We went to the Huntington Rib Fest this year. I let Lexy off the hook, she hung out with her friends instead.

Here is Isaac just inside the gates. Must have an action shot... Mmmmmm R-I-B-S...!!!
To tell the truth, Isaac was disappointed in the ribs this year. They had been cooked enough that the cartilage and bones were falling apart and he ended up with too many bones in his mouth. But he loved the rest of the event. We invited the Fuller family to go with us so they rode with us. We all piled in the truck and off we went. They are a lot of fun. Just to catch everyone up, the Fuller family is part of our Hockey Family. Will is the goalie from Isaac's team last year.


The kids tore up the games. This is Isaac running the lane with 2, yes 2 bungee cords strapped to his back. The little guy ran it so fast with one that they had to strap a second bungee cord to him the give him a challenge. He mastered it with two as well. The object was to grab the black balls that were at the end, then put them back. He got them all. I will try to post some video later. He was an ANIMAL...!!!Isaac mastered the climbing wall. It was kind of steep on the price at $5. But when he hit the top and they let him go again, and he hit the top a second time, and they let him go again. I was OK with the $5. He got to the top of all three sides of the climbing wall. GREAT JOB Isaac...!!Finally, here is a picture with Will too. These balls were one of their highlights of the night. They put the boys in the ball, blew it up with a leaf blower and turned them loose in the water. The has so much fun. Again, I will try to post video later.The boys both got silly glasses with flashing lights and stars and strips blow up machine guns. they looked so cool and had a blast with them. Here the boys are together enjoying the Joe Diffie concert at the end of the day. If you look close in the upper right hand corner you can see Joe Diffie on the stage rockin' a little 'Third Rock from the Sun'. Here is a fuzzy picture of the boy and I. It was such a great time.
Jamie and Amy didn't want Lexy to be left out of the fun, so they bought her some silly glasses too. She loves them, no surprise there.
