This week felt very busy but it probably was all because of yesterday. Yesterday was the annual Apple and Pork Festival. We went in the morning and got there about 11:00. It was also a bit overcast, but not bad. Both of these made it so it wasn't nearly as crowded when we showed up for lunch. We ate BBQ Pork sandwiches, apple cider, apple cake, and kettle corn.
We also did some activities. They had both a petting zoo and a pony ride. We had Alice pick between the two of them. The pony ride was very tempting...
But the petting zoo won.
In addition to the pig and goats, there were lots of sheep, a lama, a pony, and some rabbits.
While there we got to see rope making
Alice was not that interested. We also saw a bunch of antique farm equipment, some of it even being used to grind corn meal. We saw a black smith making nails, some wood turners making bowls and tops, and a man making benches using hand tools and some logs. There were also lots of arts and craft booths, and a flea market. We avoided the flea market. It was a lot of fun. I also have to say that Alice was fabulous during the whole thing. She did not really want to go home at the end but she did not throw a fit when we did go.
That would have made for a full day, but we did a lot more yesterday too. After we got home we were exhausted, but Susan had a church conference to go to, that lasted from 3 to 8. It was quite the event, as Alice and I hung out. We went to the library, played, had a bath. She started to get very grumpy, but it was because she was tired. She went to bed at 7 and she was asleep before her head hit the pillow.
