Fall Festival

Last weekend we went to the Fall Festival.  Mom was expecting a couple lame crafts and a small petting zoo... boy was she wrong.  She should have charged the camera battery (again... though I should take some credit as I keep playing with the camera and draining the battery).  The Fall Festival was great - though the petting zoo was pretty small.  I got to feed an alpaca and a goat.  I even pretended to milk a cow.  They had an archeology dig where I found a metal genie lamp and some old ceramics (probably from way back when Mommy & Daddy were born).  I learned how to do tinsmithing - once Mommy found a chair so I could reach the table to hammer.  I also did some laundry - with a bucket and water, washboard and a rolly-squeezy thing to get it dry. My favorite part was the ice cream followed close behind by the hay maze and play area.  There were a whole lot of other things for slightly older kids too - clay pot decorating, candle making, bouquet making, etc.  All for the entrance fee of $10 per car!  We're definitely going back next year!  Even baby brother liked it.

Glad you had a good time! Did you get pumpkins to carve too?

Nice design on the tin sheet and fabulous workmanship -- you may be a natural for the profession when you grow up. Isn't it exciting to enjoy new things like that; so, keep trying and learning new things...
