Fall Festival Fun

My favorite time of year is Fall Festival Season. I faithfully try to attend as many of our local festivals as possible. Matt is great about the whole idea....what is not to love...great fair food and crafts at the same time!!! We have officially introduced this tradition to the boys.




Porter has been many times before but did not remember. I will bet that he will know what to look for next time! We had some yummy treats....BBQ skewers, spiral potatoes, roasted corn and curly fries for lunch! Dixon was more limited in his lunch options. He quickly claimed the roasted corn.

This picture shows him protecting his corn while I try to give him some BBQ. He loves corn and would not let it go....he worked for the rest of the day eating that corn. By the time we were ready to go, we could pry it from his fingers. Luckily, he doesn't eat butter so it really wasn't too messy.

The "HOT" ticket item for little boys were the marshmallow guns! It took much convincing to get Porter to leave the fair without one. We told him that Daddy would build them both one, that day...as soon as we left. It worked and we did! Matt was able to build 3 complete guns with pipe for a 4th for the price of 1 from the fair. Here is the picture I took of someone who had purchased one and then Matt used this to build his own.


Matt and Porter had a great time with their guns and Dixon loves the marshmallows. Porter is constantly reconstructing his gun for various new purposes and Dixon has started picking up the spare parts and trying to play with the big guys. It is really cute. He loves to mimic his big brother. I love watching them play!

Ok my boys would be way jealous of the guns. Cute idea. So resourceful Matt. Maybe you could be in the craft fairs next year! Cute pictures Julie. We can't wait to see you guys.
