Fun at Johnny Appleseed Days!

This weekend was our local apple festival, Johnny Appleseed Days. Locals come out in droves to consume insane amounts of fresh baked apple pie, visit the food vendors and the artisan fair, and enjoy some great live music. We had quite a day! Being a musicians family, we spent most of the day on the hill overlooking the stage. The kids LOVED it...





The best babysitter in the world...a nice steep hill! The kids rolled for hours! They would roll, stop for a bit, roll some more. It kept them well occupied!

M, R, A, and B rolling and playing on the hill.

A says "The best thing was rolling and rolling and rolling down the hill!"


N sat on the hill watching the music...she hates to have her picture taken...She refuses to smile if she even suspects there is a camera in the area! I don't know why, she is such a lovely girl. It must be the age...just on the edge...almost a teenager...oh my!! I LOVE the top shot, though...ah...my Moon...she reminds me so much of my mother!

K and P were out with a couple of their friends most of the day...out of mama's hair, but with the walkie-talkie and in constant contact with mama bear!! (and they can't get ENOUGH of the camera...dyk just how many of their 'self portraits' I have in my photo files?? LOL)

K and P, the hams ;)

We met some interesting people...

Superheros?

and M made a new friend...

We watched my father-in-law's band Cross Connections...

B played an endless game of peekaboo with mommy...

Peekaboo!!!

We played carnival games...no pictures of those, mama needed both hands to help the 3yo, LOL! We browsed the artisans booths and stopped at our favorite wooden toy maker. B got a helicopter! We all got a little too much sun...and you know what...we didn't have a single apple (or any pie!!)!
