River Festival

The first weekend after school ended was the annual River Festival in St. Charles. The kids weren't really into it at first but by the end we all had a great time.

 

 

They had a water skiing team that did pyramids, and twirled, and very cool jumps ALL on the water!

Carson did a little tae-kwon-do and even broke a board.

The coolest part was probably the reptile show.  This guy was very entertaining and had many types of gators and lizards.

A big part of the festival is the Chinese boat races. Many, many teams sign up to compete for the win.  It was fun to watch! They also had a couple of sand sculptures. I wish I had taken pictures of them too. I hope we do it again!!
