Celebrating Fall
Hayrack ride
No one celebrates the seasons as much as Floridians. Multiple times I have seen people cover their entire lawns with white foam pretending it is snow. And Fall is as good as Christmas in Nebraska. There are Fall Festivals everyday in October ending with Halloween parties.
It’s almost getting hard to pick which event to go to. Fortunately, Annada is fond of bounce houses, firetrucks and horse rides.
Just last weekend, we went to 3 free festivals in a row. (Marc and I tag teamed the first two, then went together for the third.) That totals: 3 firetrucks, 4 bounce houses, more sugar than I want to think about, face painting, a pony ride, 2 new pumpkins, Daddy and Annada getting kicked off one inflatable obstacle course for some “cheating” (he carried her up the climbing wall), 2 hayrack rides, UCF cheerleaders, dancing troops, making a stain glass pumpkin, bookmark and pumpkin card and (I’m ashamed to admit it) 2 hot dogs.
In Florida, we may not have weather changes, but we know how to party. (And Marc and I aren’t even counting the half-a-dozen Octoberfests every weekend this month.)
The last truck burned up. I'm not kidding. The fire chief showed us the video on his phone. It had a gas leak. We are talking a huge ball of burning fire truck.
Annada followed these women around. She was in awe of their stunts.
Do NOT mess with this butterfly.
And now, the cutest new dancer for the REP:
