This has been a fun, but busy Labor Day weekend. Lucy experienced her "fair" share of fairs and festivals, traveling up to the mountains on Saturday for the Hendersonville Apple Festival. Here, she tasted two little pieces of heaven otherwise known as apple cider slush and cool apple slices dipped in warm caramel. She loved them both. She also enjoyed people watching, which was good considering the festival was teeming with an electic crowd of folks. If it had just been a few degrees cooler, it would've been the perfect day.
Today, we went down the street to the Simpsonville Labor Day Festival. Once again, the weather was a wee bit warm, but overall we had a great time. Lucy loved watching the kids riding on the swings and train. She was just short of being able to ride anything herself. But the most exciting part of the day was getting to pet the animals at the petting zoo. Lucy loved the cute little goats and Indian cow. The goats also seemed to love her--especially the one who kept trying to eat her shoe. That little rascal had the velcro unfastened and half of her shoe in his mouth before we could stop him!
And what trip to an old-fashioned fair wouldn't be complete without a funnel cake? Honestly, I haven't had one in over 20 years. Even though I'm always tempted to get one, I can't ever justify the calories. But on a whim today, we bought one. Lucy was quite intrigued, especially by the delightful powdery sugar blowing off the top of it. Just like with her birthday cake though, she wasn't that impressed with the flavor. I'm sure that if we would've covered it with green beans, she would've devoured it. :-)
