Avocado Festival and more

After the Mother & Daughter Tea, we drove home to change and then we went to the La Habra Heights Avocado Festival.   Savannah wanted to stay and play at her friend Madeline’s house and Madeline’s sister, Analiese, wanted to come with us to the Festival.  We sort of did a kid swap thing…LOL!

We saw so many cute little animals, watched a weaver make homemade wool, petted little critters.  We visited a Dog Greyhound rescue booth.  I am going to have her be a guest speaker this summer for our La Habra Moms club and she will bring the dogs for the kids to meet and pet.  

We then went over to the Bee Keeper.  That was so neat!   They had a live exhibit of bees in a bee hive making honey.   I purchased some honey sticks filled with different flavored honeys.  They girls LOVED them.   I am going to ask Lynne the Bee Keeper to be a guest speaker this summer for La Habra Moms club also.  I referred the Bee Keeper to the school principal, Kim Likert, at Savannah’s school.   She really liked the idea and they are going to incorporate an event next year at school.  How cool is that?

Then we went over to the bouncy houses and the girls spent what seemed to be forever having a blast there.   Afterwards we did a little shopping and I got the girls beautiful butterflies. 

It was a fun day…and tiring too!!

Will that be one or two lumps?

Today I took all of the girls to a Mother & Daughter Tea that I organized with both of my moms clubs.   The girls wore beautiful and adorable dresses with Pet shop material, made by Grandma.   We had 26 people there.   I made cute Pet shop packages for the kids.   I made hair bows that sported Pet shop characters and were very time consuming to make.   But well worth it..the girls loved them!!

It was the first Tea for the triplets and for the most part they behaved.   We had some challenging moments for THREE 3 year old triplets!!    They munched on their lunch of chicken nuggets, fishie crackers, tea sandwiches and a blueberry scone.  They had lemonade as their tea in little porcelain tea cups.

We had some a fun game of pulling numbers….everyone one a prize.    I had made beautiful decorated sugar cookies in the shape of teapots and teacups. I had gotten the cookie cutters at East Poultney General Store last summer with the intention of using them for the Mother & Daughter Tea.  I also gave out beautiful gift baskets to each mom with baked goods and chocolates inside.   Then I gave each girl a rice crispy treat. 

Everyone had a wonderful time.  I can’t believe this was the 3rd annual tea!!     We look forward to doing it again next year…
