Signs Of The Season

Every year in our city there is a local Christmas fair. Vendors come to a local restaurant selling tons of things for Christmas or gift ideas such as ornaments, jewelery, and Christmas decorations. I love going. Every year the things that are for sell change and I always make it a point to buy a new ornament to add to our tree. This year John was able to go with me and help with the kids. The great thing is they have fun activities for the kids while the parents shop. It is really nice! Kayleigh and Zeb loved getting their face painted. Zeb was especially sad when we had to wash it off in the bath. He didn't quite understand why he couldn't keep it on forever. 

Happy Halloween!

This year for Halloween we took a different approach. We have a lot of new people on our crew that were missing the fact that they did not get to partake in the North Carolina Fair this year. So we did our best to try and reenact that by going to a local park near our house. The park did not have elephant ears or vinegar fries for sale but you could buy a pretty disgusting hot dog on a stick. We road the Ferris wheel and our friends road a roller coaster to try and help bring back the feel of the fair. It was a lot of fun and a beautiful day. That night our friend Chad brought us some home made candy apples. They were amazing! That did bring back some memories for me of fall in America.
