First, we "blew out" (that's what we call it) the garage, the deck, and the porch. This just means that we took the "blower" to get all the dust and leaves out of the garage, etc.
Then we washed off all the nasty pollen that had stuck to the rocking chairs and the front porch.
A lot of water and a little soap made for a fabulous fun time on a warm June day!
Then, on Saturday, we attended the art festival in Cave Spring.
There were lots of vendors selling jewelry, photography, paintings, and various other crafts, but mostly,.........we ATE!
We ate cotton candy and funnel cake..........
Then we ate bar-b-que and roasted corn! Delicious!
We did make a couple purchases. A kitty cat pin that Rebecca decided she didn't like to wear on her shirt, so we are going to pin it to her bookbag this fall, and the "Three Little Pigs" finger puppet set. Rebecca is just obsessed with that wolf!
But the most fun was had exploring the cave, and wading in the spring. The cave felt wonderfully cool (only 60 degrees!) and we fed the trout that were swimming in the stream.
The color in the photographs taken inside the cave didn't turn out very well. I wish you all could have seen how beautiful it really was!
It was a wonderful weekend spent together as a family. I hope Daddy had as much fun as we did. The next day, there was an aerial photograph of the festival in the local paper, and we were in the photo! Even if it was a "where's Waldo" type of search and find, there we were,......in the paper! One of my favorite quotes is, "Today's experiences are tomorrow's memories. Live what you would like to remember". (Anonymous) I love it when I feel that I have really accomplished that!
We love you, Daddy!
