Do any of you have fall cravings this time of year whatever it be to buy corn stalks, pumpkins, or go to a festival? Well fall is mom's and my favorite time of year so of course the corn stalks are up, we got pumpkins to make the house look pretty, and we have been drinking apple cider, and of course I made a carmal dip, and yes I went to a festival which I am about to update you on. We went to the Atwood festival last Saturday and I must say we couldn't have picked a better day. It was in the mid 80's and when we rode on the pontoon boat from aunt Lisa's parent's house the breeze felt wonderful. For the record the Atwood festival has been a tradition for many years. We have gone in many kinds of weather. cold, hot, rainy, you name it but it's worth it.
Yes, grandma and I both missed a year. I missed last year because I was invited to stay with dad, and the year before grandma passed on going because she didn't sleep well and it was rainy and muddy, and freezing. They have all these trailers and tents where you can go in and look around and they are decorated beautifully with handmade things you can purchase or sample. Uncle Craig and I got a chance to sample these two fruit jams that these two women were selling. One was a raspberry and the other was a carmal apple. I was very surprised to find that I liked the raspberry better.
No I did not purchase a bottle of it. After a bit we decided to get something to eat. Aunt Lisa's parent's went straight for the home made ice cream but we passed. The rest of us wanted something else first that felt like a meal like hot dog which grandma and I got. Aunt Lisa and Uncle Craig split this HUGE pork sandwich. Yes we ended up getting ice cream. I got this huge bowl of pumpkin pecan because I was in the fall mood. It had five scoops of this delicious flavor. Grandma helped me eat some of it. :)
We left the festival at 2:30 because aunt Lisa's family needed to get ready for a party that they had to attend but heck we spent just enough time there if you asked me. I would have taken photos and put them on my instagram but my phone went dead which bummed me out but oh well guess there's always next year right? Well better get going. XOXO
