Fall Fun, Part the Second

Today was another big Fall day.

After sleeping extra late, we got up and went down to the Farmer's Market.  We didn't get much, but we did get our staples of tomatoes, basil, and honey straws.

Today was Wolf River Day at sites all over Memphis.  There were several clean-up activities happening all around and then several expos as well.

The youth at our church were helping with a group called SOAR, or Save Our American Raptors, so we walked over to see what was going on.  We were all excited about seeing the birds of prey fly around a gymnasium, but we got there too early and, by the time the program was starting, I was getting pretty antsy.  So, we had to leave.

Then, this evening, we were back at the Levitt Shell for another concert in the Fall series.  We really enjoy it there and I have so much fun.  The children's show was a performance by Rattletree Marimba, which is a great band that uses traditional Zimbabwean instruments and plays fun music to which to dance.  I ran all around and danced and played with a couple of my friends who were there.

It pooped me out, too.  It's been a big weekend already!

Fall Fun, Part One

Yesterday, we welcomed Fall with my very first trip to the fair!  You know it's Fall when the fair's in town.

The old Mid-South Fair has packed up and left Memphis for Mississippi, so we went to the Delta Fair instead.  Mommy and Grandaddy took me and we had a blast.

We (and that includes me!) ate so much junk.  Mommy said that's the main reason to go to the fair and the main reason Daddy doesn't care for the fair.  We had Pronto Pups (corn dogs) and Funnel Cakes and Cotton Candy and Fudge and, well, I can't remember what else.

I had two favorites.  One was the petting zoo.  I never did get the whole feeding-the-animals-out-my-hand thing, but that's what Mommy's for.  She fed the, while I loved on the animals.  And they enjoyed licking some of the fair food off of me, too.  The other was the life-sized Elmo.  I couldn't get enough of him.

Oh, and we ran into Edens and Mrs Carol.  Me and Edens played in a mud puddle together.

Anyway, we had lots of fun, but I was pooped afterwards.  Mommy had to give me a bath, though, to get all the dirt and grime off of me.  But I was in bed way early and slept over an hour later than usual, too.

I can't wait until next year!
