Indy Irish Fest

This weekend went down to Amy and Chris's with my parents to go to the Indy Irish fest. Friday night we saw the Makem Brothers and Brigid's Cross and Amy and Chris ran a 5K. Both bands did well and the girls enjoyed watching and dancing to the music!! It was a little chilly, but having a few blankets helped!

Saturday we had a good breakfast at Amy and Chris's and let the girls nap before heading back to the fest. This time Joe's cousin Beth and her husband Mike joined us. Beth is pregnant (due in Feb.) so it was nice to see her growing belly!! Again we watched the Makem Brothers and Brigid's Cross. The girls again enjoyed dancing and listening to the music. We did however have a little "incident". Dad and I got up to go to the bathroom while my mom, Amy, Joe, Chris and Joe’s cousin and her husband were there. Well, Loren had been giving Kaylynn a bottle and then decided she was done. I’m still going to the bathroom and while I’m in the port-a-potty my phone rings so I answer it and it’s Joe saying “is Loren with you” and I said “No, I’m going potty”. Well he hangs up. So I finish going and get back to our seats to find my sister crying, my mom running around like a crazy person saying Loren’s missing. We were all running around, dad went up and asked the Makem's to make an announcement so everyone could look for her, there were security guards looking for her, it was announced at ALL the stages at the fest about the little blond girl who was missing. She was gone for about 20 minutes when a security guard who happened to be by me got a call over his radio saying they think they found her in the port-a-potty. So Joe goes running over there and it was her. Thank GOD!!!! She had to go potty and knew where to go and what to do!! I have never been so scared in my life!!!!! I’m not exactly sure how she snuck away, but I think it was one of those things where everyone thought someone else was keeping an eye on her! There were 8 adults, yet none of us could watch her!! Now we know to communicate who is watching her!

After that chaos, mom decided to take the girls back to Amy's so we could enjoy the rest of the fest!! It was fun dancing to the music and being around family!!

Here are a few pictures from this weekend:
