Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2013

Josie and Roslyn had a glorious reunion with Grandma Gar and Papaw at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. The festival began with the Light the Night show: scores of hot air balloons fired up at sunset in a beautiful display. Unfortunately, both kids were a wee bit terrified of the fire. 
Annie and JP toured several distilleries and completed a bourbon trail scavenger hunt while Josie and Roz played with their grandparents, aunts, and cousins. 

Vrrroooom!

The family met up with Uncle John and Aunt Rebecca for a train ride from New Haven, KY to Boston, KY. On the return trip a young'un named Dynamite helped stage a train robbery for charity.
Chugga-chugga-choo-choo!

That's Dynamite in the red bandana


"I've got you by your beard!"
"We're gettin' robbed!"
Josie and Rozzie got to visit Aunt Jula's creek and search for crayfish, fossils, pottery shards, and arrow heads.







Back at the Johnson household, the highlights were riding bikes in the garage, hunting for treasure on the veranda, playing dress up, exploring all the books and vintage toys, and, of course, hanging cicada shells on the veranda screen.
