Mushroom Festival!

Hey, it was Mama's birthday and she got to pick the excitement!  So...we went to the mushroom festival in Kennett Square, PA.  We made it in time for the opening parade -- there is Zach looking on at the human sized mushroom coming toward him.  The next pic is of Caleigh and Mama during one of her rests during the parade -- she was so cute (and we were near the beginning of the parade w/o kids around us) that they threw TONS of candy our way and Caleigh felt obliged to pick it up.  At one point she said, "I don't want to pick up any more candy" which made us laugh.  We had promised her a lollipop and she didn't have time to eat it. ;-)

The kids enjoyed a rendition of Alice in Wonderland on stage (during a sprinkle).  We shared a large mushroom soup and I reluctantly shared a couple battered (YUMMY!) mushroom tops.

We missed the food show and needed to get back on the school bus to our car (the kids might have enjoyed the school bus rides most of all...) so we just posed our beautiful girl beside the mushroom display. Pretty impressive how they grow these things.

A good day, but we took a break the third weekend of September (to work around the house and go on a date night!).  Perhaps if no baby the fourth weekend, we'll catch a free museum entrance somewhere!  Really, we're resting up soon - maybe October.
