(Corn Toss - Playing with another toddler.
The boy is four years old...Isabelle is tall for her age!)
Yesterday was a blast! There was the threat of rain, and yet it never did. This was great on so many levels, but the highest being able to attend Hollis Old Home Day. OHD is the town's carnival/fair. It was fun and perfect for a toddler. There were booths from various local merchants and non-profits, clowns walking around providing free balloon art (Isabelle has a pink kitty cat), face painting, food galore and a traditional carnival - rides and games. Though 90% of the rides were way too much for Isabelle, at the end of the day, she tried the train and Loved it. Of course, by the time she had the courage to try it, it was late and she could only go around twice. Oh, she was bummed as a result. She played a lot of games, we ran into friends and had a really good BBQ chicken dinner. It was rumored to be a lot of food, and it was! I wanted to enter the apple pie contest, but never had the time to cook one. There is always next year.
(Isabelle won a Dalmatian dog toy!)
(Having oodles of fun on the train....it was hard to say no after she decided it was really fun!)We could even see some of the fireworks from our house. It was truly a wonderful day. Friends, family and fun are a perfect mixture! (Yes, we did run into some of my friends....and one that I have not seen in a while too!)
If the rain stops early enough today, I plan on going apple picking. The hope was the rain would hold off long enough so that the apples would be dry. Alas, this may not be the case. But, I need by 30lbs of apples to start cooking, and as the season is getting late, I want to be able to get some good ones!!
Ta ta for now.
