Mountain Jamboree Festival...

this weekend, we went up on Massanutten Mountain to check out The Recipe at the Mountain Jamboree Festival...my sis turned me on to The Recipe years ago, & the kiddos love em almost as much as we do...i'd never seen them live & there were other activities going on during the Jamboree too...it sounded like a fun time, so we went to check it out!

there was a bouncy house...& a small petting zoo...

face painting & hooping for kiddos & adults alike!

they had a rock wall that Gabby couldn't wait to try out!

& she made it to the top super fast!

Gab giving it a try, gave Jaden the motivation he needed to work up the nerve to go for it...

he didn't make it to the top, but he did really well too!

but the best part was the real reason why we were there...the music! my sis & i were psyched!

& i'm super thankful that even tho my hubby isn't really a fan...he was happy to come along & enjoy the day with us ;0)

Suntrust sponsored the event, & they were handing out all kinds of goodies...fans, highlighters, light-up wands, sharpies...the highlighters came in handy too - the kiddos entertained themselves for quite some time...giving each other "tattoos"!

by the time we left, everyone had at least 1 "tat"...& the kiddos had their arms/legs/faces covered! ~lol~

the music was awesome...we had so much fun!

& we found a killer spot, right up front...i think one of my fav parts was people watching...as the night went on, the folks that came up to dance got more & more interesting (think, free hippies gyrating ~lol~)...& there was a hooping group there (they provided all the hula hoops for the kiddos to play with) - they were simply amazing! at night, they break out light-up hoops, which is even cooler!



we left before too late...we'd had our fill of fun & decided to hit McD's on the way home for ice cream...the kiddos had fun playing with their Suntrust light-up wands in the car on the way home ;0)

we had a great time...can't wait for next year!
