So When I was little, My mom took me to every festival there was around. Now that I am a mom I seem to want to do the same for Jacob.This past weekend, there was a little festival at one of the parks in LaGrange. So after carpet shopping, My mom and I took Jacob to the David Roger's Day festival at David Roger's park. I believe it is named after the guy who lived in these houses way back in the 1800's.
The festival was little but it was still fun. Jacob enjoyed it, but would enjoy it more if he were a little older. They had all kinds of things for little kids for FREE! Like making candles, carving wood, making metal signs, weaving baskets, making pottery, watching puppet shows, and we even got to enjoy a little bit of the flea circus show.
Jacob showed a lot of interest in running around and climbing in all the old cabins. A tid bit of info. LaGrange Parks department has filled this park with all kinds of old houses they have found all over and have moved them to this one location.
And of course no festival would be complete without some yummy food. It was a good thing Daddy was out of town on a men's trip camping and kayaking because he is not a big festival fan. I was glad my mom was willing to come with me, It wasn't like I had to force her or anything.
A funny little story about Jacob. The Olympics were on at our house continuously and Jacob picked up a few tricks. He has now started to crouch down and touch his toes then say "Mark, get set, go" and takes off running. He is his father's son for sure. People are going to think Michael taught him that, but no the TV did.
With our new jobs we have found more freedom in the evenings. Lately, we have been enjoying bicycle rides. They are a lot different than the rides we took in the city. While these are more scenic and you don't have to worry about as many cars as you ride around country rodes instead of sub divisions the smell is much better in the city where you don't have to doge 'road apples' (for you city folk that is manure) and less strenuous as most subdivisions don't have hills like these country roads.
