Swampfest

Every year, the city of Waycross has a two day celebration called "Swampfest". The days are filled with competitions, demonstrations, and vendors. During the evenings, there are live bands. For the Saturday night grand finale, the festival-goers are treated to fireworks and an outdoor concert given by the Swingin' Medallions (our favorite). Since Swampfest usually falls during the week of Spring Break, we rarely get to go (because we are usually out of town). This year, however, we were in town and able to attend. It was so much fun! Granny Mel was visiting, so she and I took the kids. It didn't take long for us to spot my dad, brother, and two of my sisters. My brother Sam was working the door as a bouncer at KDs. We stopped to say a little something to him, and daddy went inside for a moment. Seeing how uncle Sam was at the door and Papa was going in, Owen thought that he should go in, too. He tried, and he got bounced- by his own uncle! What's that about? Getting bounced didn't hurt Owen's self esteem, though. It wasn't long before both and Olivia were cutting a rug on the "dancefloor". The kids had such a good time. We stayed for one entire set by the band and for the fireworks that followed. It was lots of fun.
