A Day in the Country

October 5, 2015 | baby, blogging, family

It’s Fall yall! Well, it was fall for the weekend…today the high is 84 and we are somehow back to summer. What a tease. Anyway, we had great weather temperature-wise all weekend (never really saw the sun though). On Saturday we had a birthday party to go to, and then we decided to go to a fall festival we have heard about for years but for one reason or another never actually went to. It’s called a day in the country, and had a ton of adorable craft booths, music, food, games for the kids, a silent auction, and petting zoo among other things. After snagging a great parking spot (ah, the things we get excited about), we headed over to check out all the craft and food booths. I just say, some people are just so darn creative and crafty, I am quite jealous.

We didn’t buy anything, but Bobby sampled some different dips and salsa.

There was a sad little petting zoo that contained a pony in a tutu, a spray painted goat and pig, and some unfortunate looking chickens. I felt kind of bad for the animals, but at least they looked well fed. The poor pony was pathetic looking.

Emma Kate was a trooper all morning at the birthday party but got a little cranky in her stroller after awhile at the festival.

We are brave to wear our LSU gear amongst everyone else in their Ole Miss and Mississippi State gear!

Bobby got some red beans and rice to eat while we checked out the silent auction.

Little bit had enough of the stroller, so we found a grassy area and let her practice her walking. Is she not the most adorable little cheerleader that ever was?!? I’m dying.

By the way this outfit is a size 2T. Girlfriend is big. At least I am getting some arm muscles lugging her around.

I LOVE this picture of my two loves. They are twins.

We were quickly encroaching on nap time and decided to call it a day. We went home and watched football the rest of the afternoon/evening and I went to bed early. The weekend was rounded out by church, a nap, a little work, and more football. I hope you had a good weekend, too!

QOTD: Any fall festivals where you live? How did your football team do?

    Emma Kate is so adorable! When football season started last year my oldest was super tiny but my husband wanted her to have a Dolphins jersey – we purchased it in a 3t – it’s still so huge on her but absolutely adorable!! 🙂
