several weeks ago we headed up to georgetown to meet gram and papa at the red poppy festival. little did we know how long we'd be there! it's very different to experience these festivals with little ones. we're constantly on the lookout for what might be most interesting to them . . . puppies, fire trucks, balloons, etc. who knew there was so much to see at a festival! i always thought they were only about shopping and eating funnel cake! we did do a little window shopping. i must admit that i've become re-inspired due to the poppy festival. we talked to a lady who sewed items very similar to mine. her philosophy was that she bough fabric that she loved, and then she just created things that she liked when she had the time. actually i'm not sure if that was exactly her philosophy, but that was definitely my takeaway. i've started sewing again (actually i've started buying fabric again. . . that's my favorite part of the process!), and i'll get the blog updated soon too. perhaps an etsy site is in my future. . . we'll see!
anyways, back to the poppy festival . . . we spent hours walking around! brody sported this cool balloon hat, met a furry creature or two and ate an ENTIRE foot long corn dog! i bought the corn dog thinking erik would finish it off for him . . . nope, that was one hungry boy! he kept eating and eating and eating! what a trooper, he walked around the fair for several hours only taking a break to eat his corn dog, and then he asked gram to sit with him in this perfect little spot! need i say that he took a LONG nap that afternoon!

that WAS a fun day. let's do it again next year.
we'll need to find another festival sooner than that to go to . . . it was too much fun to wait an entire year to do it again!
I vote for a festival in November so I can come, too, except I am sure the weather would not be as nice.
