We have a lot of festivals on this side of the country. We went to a lot in Virgina and we have been able to go to some here in Alabama. Last Saturday, we went to the apple festival. It was fun. Megan was invited to go bowling with her primary class so that is what she chose to do instead. The rest of us went to the festival and saw lots and lots of stuff. It is easy to want to spend money at these things , but we refrained. (except for a bag of apples and a funnel cake, how can you go to a festival and not get a funnel cake for the kids) Hunter here is waiting to grab a bunch of Apples.
I knew that there were many kinds of apples, but I didn't realize how many different kinds. They had apples I have never even heard of. Emilee here is sampling all the different kinds of apples. It is amazing how each one tastes so different.
This guy at the fair had his own midway game set up. You pay $3.00 and get 10 balls. You stood behind the cage and tried to throw the balls into the jars that were floating in the little pool. If you made one ball in then you got to take home a bunny. I didn't even want to try at all for fear that I might make it and then I would have to take home a bunny. Emilee wanted to try, but we said NO WAY!! She enjoyed looking at them anyway.
Before we left we purchased a bag. Once you had your bag you could put as many could fit and carry. They didn't all have to be the same type. You could put all kinds of apples in it. We brought home a lot of apples and some pears too.
Emilee finally gave the bag to her dad. She couldn't hold it anymore. It was a fun day. It is fun to see all the stuff. I get lots of ideas for enrichment crafts.
