"At one point shetook them over to a children's play area where her daughter painted, and sheplayed an interactive game with her son," adds the onlooker. "Shedonned a flower crown that she got from one of the booths. She wasfriendly and talking to people, and her kids seemed to have a great time."

"We are extremelydisappointed," Kelly's attorney David J. Glass said in a statement."This court set up the current situation whereby my client was forced tolive bi-coastally, but now, the court appears to be holding it against her.Likewise, the court created the situation whereby the children would lose theirconnections to California, and despite the Judgment’s language precluding thepassage of time from creating new jurisdiction, that is exactly what hashappened."
