Sand in the City

Yesterday, Richie and I had planned on heading downtown Olympia for the annual Sand in the City event. It had been a couple years since we went to this event, so we were really looking forward to going...Richie even got out of bed before noon!!!! We had a nice and relaxing day:). We had only been there for about 20 or 30 minutes when we ran into Richie's other brother James, with his family. Which was great because I have been wanting to get a few pictures of them...they never get family pictures!!!

Kailani was so excited to see us and show off her painted face!! Running into us also worked in her favor because she was able to get a shoulder ride from Uncle Chris.

Yes, this really was on one of the sand sculptures!!! Slightly inappropriate for this family event...we probably looked more ridiculous taking pictures of it, but we were in utter shock!!!

At the other end of the boardwalk, down by Capital Lake, there was another annual Olympia event...Hemp Fest. We didn't know that this was going on, but we kept hearing people talking about it through Sand in the City, so we decided to walk down and see what was going on. There were a bunch of vendors selling various items, bongs, pipes, tie die clothing, etc.... However, this vendor was by far the most interesting. We were walking by and Richie had to stop because he had never seen anything like this and wondered out loud, "What are these for?" The vendor responded with, "A little somthin' for the ladies." We were cracking up!!!

It was actually really fun to go to Hemp Fest. There were some really good food vendors, fun music, and GREAT people watching. Very entertaining!!!

We had a great, relaxing day walking around Olympia...perfect end to a very nice weekend.
