Food, Family & Friends

I got my fill of all my favorite foods at the festival (stromboli, italian sausage sandwich, corn dog, apple dumpling, etc.). I was careful not to let Isaac eat too much junky fair food. He did enjoy his first taste of a purple cow... lots of smiles and "mmm's." We visited the art, photo, antique, and craft shows. Isaac even won a purple beach ball playing duck pond (He's a pro!). The Grape Jamboree is like a homecoming for lots of folks. We ran into random people like my elementary school secretary and neighbors who have known me since I was a toddler. It's hard to walk a few feet without running into someone you know. Afterall, my family has been in the town since I was born.

We did manage to hang out at my mom's house and visit as well. Josh wasn't feeling well due to his allergies and made a date with Claritin, the couch, and football on tv.

Isaac and Grandma A all giggly.
That's my Aunt Debbie in the middle. Isaac had just gotten the two of them all wet getting a drink from a water bottle. Messy boy! Debbie came bringing fun gifts for Isaac including this really cool baseball toy which he just loves. My mom spoiled him with tons of really cute fall clothes and fun garage sale toys.
At last, they meet!
Isaac and his Uncle Dave :)
We were lucky enough to run into my friends Mark and Steph for a few minutes downtown
and Steph and Isaac got to love on eachother!
My sister Beckie is almost as picture crazy as I am. She's always trying to get cute "frameable" pictures of she and Isaac. I laugh SO hard whenever I see the picture below because Isaac was NOT a happy camper about all her kisses. He was cranky.
But, then he did better the next day. :)
I like this one, too.
For those wondering about the weather, it was hit or miss. Sometimes it was nice and sunny and other times it was cold and cloudy. We only got sprinkled on once, although storms threatened us many times. Here's a cool pic of Chrissy and her friend Mel down by the rides and games.
