My parents came into to town, picked me and the boys up and took us to the Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana. During the Festival three towns host different boutiques for ten days. This is kind of like Swiss days but huge!!! They have one million people visit in ten days. They had all kinds of booths but mostly home decor. Along with this comes what my mom calls, "Carni food" and we tried it all. If you can fry it, they had it. We ate... corn dogs(only if they were hand dipped), fried mushroom, fried cheese, fried green tomatoes and fried corn fritters. We ate corn on the cob, chicken noodle soup and mash potatoes (I swear they fried the mashed potatoes) cookies and fresh squeezed lemonade. We were all sick at the end of the 2 days but we had so much fun.
We had to get a picture of McAllister's Bridge. They even spelled it the same way!
As we were driving up to the town my dad said."Oh my" (cause there were so many people) and then Mac copied him saying"Oh my bumpa" That was the phrase of the week, and we never got sick of it.
The festival was in the middle of no where. It was absolutely beautiful. With the fall leaves and the nice 75 degree weather.
Me and my mom took turns carrying this chunk around. Notice he's loosing his hair on his right side:(
Tuesday night we drove back to Lexington. Wednesday we went on a walk. It ended short because it was so hot (86*) am I making all you Utahans jealous? Then we took Drew out to lunch. We came back played and said our goodbyes. As my parents were leaving Mac fell off the porch into the bushes, for the second time you'd think he'd learn. He didn't get hurt but it was hilarious.
This time was hard saying goodbye. Mac was crying and screaming "no bye bye bumpa." I was ok knowing we'll see them over Thanksgiving but Mac didn't understand. He had so much fun with them and LOVES having his grandparents around. We can't wait to see you again, thanks for the fun visit.
