scarecrow fest

katie came for the weekend! we had such a great time. i wish she lived a million times closer, like next door, but we still have seen her a lot so far- like the past 2 weekends in a row and she's coming back in 3, yay!

we started our saturday by going to the keowee river scarecrowfest. it's only in its second year so it was a little less than amazing but still a great time. it had a lot for kids so in a couple of years it will be even more fun for us to attend. we had the option of either walking to the event from the parking or taking a hayride. we decided to walk there- not the best decision. it was through the woods on a dirt path. we were literally off-roading with the stroller. we had to double team it up a hill it was so steep.

he couldn't have cared less 

once we finally made it up the hill, we arrived at the festivities. we looked at all the booths for a while which were really great, there just weren't enough of them. katie and i bought evan an awesome little piece of monster art for his room. whenever his room is completely finished i'll post pictures of it and you can see it. we ate lunch there at the little pig bbq trailer. it was delicious! best bbq i've ever had.

evan with his ak after lunch- look at that smile! 

she's in love

after lunch we took some pictures of some of the scarecrows there. 1st: katie with mother nature (side note: we called one of girls camp directors mother nature behind her back because we couldn't stand her, gosh teenagers are awful!)


 2nd: the nutcracker and a balerina, so beautifully positioned in front of the port-a-potties


3rd: the man and me with the mr. and mrs.


so after our experience getting there, we opted to take the hayride back. it was fun! and i promise we pulled the shade down over evan, we just wanted a picture. we rode to the exit, took a photo all together, and left. we had a great time!
