Action packed day in small town U.S.A.! Pumpkin Fest at the community/senior's center in town was pretty much what I expected. Lots of pumpkins, a wagon ride in an old-fashioned buggy pulled by draft horses, arts & crafts, and carnival games for the kiddies. The kids had a great time decorating their own pumpkins and riding in the wagons.
After that was a community theater production of "Cinderella". Prairie Fire is a traveling production company that goes from town to town and puts on a play in a week, try-outs to play in about five days. I took the older girls to the play, which was the story of Cinderella set in a 1950s era ... a sock hop instead of a ball, that sort of thing. Riley and Savvy loved it, and I thought it was okay. I had to keep reminding myself that it was mostly a children's production, as 97% of the cast were kids.
And then this evening Savvy came down with a fever. She's had a sore throat since yesterday, so I'm hoping it's not strep throat and just a virus of some sort. Praying that the fever stays away and she's feeling better by tomorrow. Jesse's brother, Darren, and his wife, Carly, were supposed to join us for supper tonight -- ribeyes and baked potatoes. Don't really blame them for not staying, but they missed out on some great steaks!
The most I got accomplished on the house was a couple loads of laundry and hung a shower curtain. Oh well, tomorrow will come soon enough.
Here are a few pictures from our time at the Pumpkin Fest.
