Another busy weekend. I sound like a broken record. Friday night we headed to Earlham to watch our nephew play in the highschool football game. This is the first and only game we have been to this year. It was the perfect night for some football, Presley was very good. I think Friday nights in Earlham is an excuse for the parents to socialize and let their kids run crazy. There are so many kids in that town. It's so weird that we can go to Earlahm and know so many people that live there. I'm not big on small towns but Earlham is growing on me.
Saturday morning we headed back to Earlham for Brant's Great Pumpkin Festival. A race and carnival that is held every year in remembrance of one of our nephews friends who died of a brain tumor in 2005. They have so many games, a rock climbing wall, clowns, pumpkins, lunch and a silent auction. It is a great fundraiser that we love being a part of. There were too many people there for Presley's liking so she clung onto us most of the time, but it was fun!
While Presley napped that afternoon, Steve and I watched the Hawkeyes win their football game and after dinner we head down to Howells Farm for a bonfire. A friend of mine from work, reserved a bonfire area and there were about 25 of us! We were able to go on a hayrack ride to the corn maze and go thru the maze in the dark! We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows, we had hot cocoa and spiced apple cider...it was a great way to spend a cool, fall night! Presley was fairly good, she didn't try to play with the fire or anything!
Sunday Steve got up with Presley and I got to sleep in until 9 am! (funny how 2 years ago 9 am seemed early to us!) I went into work for a couple hours in the afternoon, we played outside and just hung out. It was a great weekend! Next weekend should be a little less busy, and hopefully the weather will be just as nice!
