Foothills Fall Festival

Saturday, we wanted to get out of the house. So we took the kids and our company, Uncle Jake and Sarah, to the Maryville Foothills Fall Festival. I don't see me getting out much by myself with Jalen and Tessa, so anytime there is another adult around I am going to be itching to go somewhere! Before we left, Jalen was having his post-nap snack of milk, raisins, and animal crackers at his table (window sill) while Tessa enjoyed the view.

We got to the Festival around 6:30, not knowing that everything closed down at 7:00 because of the concerts starting. So we got to eat some good carnival food, and Jalen got to sit on a tractor.

Then we came across a firetruck just before they left. Jalen got to sit in the driver's seat and got an honorary fireman's hat.

The trip wasn't a total loss, since we DID actually leave the house with 2 kids. Tessa, of course, slept through the whole thing, and Jalen got to run off some energy. Maybe next weekend we will hit up the pumpkin patch.

Here is King Jalen talking on Mom's phone. Sorry if any of you have been "Jalen-dialed"!
