Fall Fun

This past weekend, we kicked off an (early) start to fall at our local River Days Festival.  

Tethered balloon rides...fun to watch from the ground.

Charlie riding the pony..."Gid-em Up!"

Jake felt a little safer clinging to daddy.

Mr. Cool with Daddy and Uncle Greg.

Aunt Summer showing the boys how to feed the animals at the petting zoo. 

Charlie trying for himself.

Again, Jake felt a little safer clinging (this time) to Uncle Greg.

Meanwhile, Mr. Adventure here...

Caught telling the cow that he goes, "Mooo."

Thanks for the lesson, Charlie.

Watching the balloon with Papaw.

Also watching the balloon while playing in the kiddie zone.

Perhaps the highlight of the day...riding the "choo-choo!"

Charlie is telling us that he wants to go watch the dancers on stage.  (There was a performance by some local Irish Dancers...very cool!)

Playing with some straw on the ground.

He was entertained for a good 10 minutes with that piece of straw.

Jake sneaking in some Grammie time while Charlie was distracted with the straw. ;)

What a lovely start to the season!
