fall festival

this past weekend was LONG and eventful. it really is worthy of several posts, so to keep my sanity i'm going to cover only one topic tonight. i hope i'll have time tomorrow to add a bit more. and there was a lot, for sure! the most exciting being the overnight that D and i spent with no kids, and an open bar at my cousin's wedding!

but first was saturday's morning at our favorite fall festival. we had to really squeeze it in because of the wedding we had to head out to in the afternoon, but there was never a question. we had to go! we have never missed it. now as bee gets older, and even this year for henny, it is really so much fun to experience everything with them. before we had kids, it was all about the food and the crafts and maybe seeing friends. now it's all about the games, petting zoo and dancing to the music.

this year bee played three games and earned herself a handful of candy. everyone is a winner!

first there was the golf game where bee got to drop 10 marbles down the board and see which hole they land in. bee had no idea about the rules or points or whatever. she just loved watching them bounce around and sometimes land in a hole.

next we played a game where we got to toss dimes to try to get them to land on a circle. bee actually did manage to get one on and that was a huge thrill. 
the last game we played was our favorite and by far the most inventive. i don't know what you would call it but what you had to do was roll this ball up a slight hill, by balancing it on these 2 poles and kind of pumping it uphill. D helped bee and i think he liked it better than she did!
henny enjoyed it all from D's back and then let loose when we sat down to eat lunch and listen to some music. henny danced and ate and then danced some more. 

coming tomorrow (hopefully), wedding and apple pie!
