Here we are with friends Kari Mueller and her new baby boy, Beck. Her daughter is Anja, you'll see her in her cute ladybug outfit in another picture. Luke has his eyes on the cookie table.

At the Hidden Springs organic farm releasing ladybugs.

Allie marched with high knees all the way to the farm from the barn. I was laughing so hard because she was so serious and didn't miss a step! She also has just two speeds: full speed and dawdle. This was a high step dawdle pace march to the farm...so we were the last to arrive. Very typical.

The march continues!

She wasn't too sure about the ladybugs crawling on her at first, but then she couldn't get enough of them. I was surprised.

Rhubarb Festival & Ladybug Parade

Allie created her own wings and antennae hat. All the kids looked darling in their ladybug costumes!

Allie had fun with her friends Lauren (above) and Anja (below).

Anja and Allie found frosted ladybug cookies to enjoy! I found delicious samples of rhubarb treats! I love this time of year!

She had such fun zipping from one activity to the next. She even willingly waited for a half an hour for a short turn in the jumping house!

Allie loves art projects, especially anything with paint, so the Ladybug Festival was perfect for her.
