We took Chad’s mom and dad to the Yankee Peddler today. It’s an arts & crafts festival with a colonial theme, complete with entertainments (puppet shows, melodramas, folk music, roving magicians & storytellers) and better-than-fair-food food. I wasted no time in finding and devouring my favorites: apple dumplings and onion rings bigger than my face. (and you know my face; it’s pretty big!)
Chad and his dad bought a "medium" sized bag of kettle-corn:
And we ran into these little jokers along the way, in the butterfly house. Olivia was so funny when I called her name. She looked around, like "no way!" And then she saw me and started shouting, "Allyson! Allyson! Mommy, Allyson is here!" Made me feel like a million bucks. And then Emma flung herself at me, and Ben acted shy and flirty. I love those kids.
A butterfly landed on Liv’s backside, much to everyone’s glee.
And then Ben got one:
It was a good time for everyone, but now I’m starting to regret all the weird combinations of things I ate: apple dumpling; onion rings; kettle corn; funnel cake; a strange assortment of leftovers for dinner. Ergh, my tummy is a bit unsettled now.
Those onion rings look insanely good. I love a good “O” ring…. didn’t know that about you. Why have we never shared onion rings?
Bette works at Yankee every year…. I can score you tickets next time 😀
Oh, and the butterfly on the fanny?
PRICELESS!
