A Visit To Naperville Ribfest - 2016

We weren't in Coloma for the 4th of July for the first time in many years because we were in Europe with the Marini family and arrived back on the 3rd, so this year, as the holiday weekend wound down, we were able to join the Moran's and the girls' Uncle Bill, Aunt Sisi and Frank's bestie out at the Naperville Ribfest.  

We've been to Ribfest in the past, but I don' think I've posted any photos here on the blog before.  The Ribfest is what you would expect:  bbq and carnival.  They also have music acts, but we didn't go for that.  We were there for the ribs and pork and to win a few carnival games for the girls.  

That's Eloise up there posing so proud with her giant, stuffed Emoji that we won at a game.  

And here she is taking in some soft serve with her Godmother Aunt Sisi:

Frank the tank was there, too!  Here he is goofing around with Granddad. 

The jetlag really hit SD hard and she fell asleep in Grammy's lap!?!?

Uncle Bill made sure that Cousin J learned the finer points of ribs and BBQ:

 And...umm....we won - much to Nat's chagrin - a goldfish!  Yep...a new pet for the family that I'm hoping will survive long enough for me to be able to write a post about her.  We're still not over our loss of Maisy (I still miss her so much!), but the girls now can focus on their new fish!
