A Saturday Old Fashioned Festival Story

Here where I live, it's a small town. Every year, this adorable town puts on an adorable 4 day festival called "the Old Fashioned Festival." They have rides, elephant ears, vendors, a children's parade, a crowning of a queen (yes, there is a court and yes, I'm grooming Amelia to be on it one day). Saturday tends to be the day of BIG events. An early morning parade, a break in the action to ride the rides and eat great local food, then the night is topped off with a crazy expensive 20 minute fireworks show (this, I don't mind my tax dollars going to!). We have gone to the parade the past 2 years, and the fireworks since we've lived here, so that's 4 years. It's tradition people, and I love it. It seems the whole town comes out for the fireworks and while the husband may not appreciate the high school reunion of people he runs into, I enjoy the kids running around the field, dancing to the band with the glow in the dark necklaces waiting for the fireworks, with the background noise of high school kids screaming on overpriced rides. The weather being perfect (mid 60's at night, little hot for the parade reaching around 90, but we managed)...made for a perfect, family and friends Sat. Keep going after the pictures, there is video too :)

My first trip to the zoo.

Aunt Christie was nice enough to call mommy to see if we wanted to meet her and cousin Henry at the zoo. I haven't been, but cousin Henry has been lots so he was a great tour guide. I saw some cool animals, and got to eat a yummy snack on the lawn where I ran around. Mommy, and Aunt Christie, took pictures. I didn't get to see all the animals, so mommy said we'll be going back very soon!

More 4th of July fun!

After dancing, there was eatting. Mmmm it was good!

Our very first edible harvest from the Glynn family garden!

It's happened! We had our first strawberry ripe and ready to pick and eat from our garden. So exciting! The follow is a picture of said strawberry, and Miss Amelia's reaction to her taste of said strawberry.

First list/week one

We have the first sign of life in the Glynn garden! We are so excited to see the literal fruits of our labors!
