Our First Fall Festival

My friend Monika invited us to the Hay Creek Fall Festival last weekend.  Neither of us had ever been there and we weren't sure what to expect but we knew we were looking for some kind of Fall activity to do.  It wasn't quite what we had in mind but it wasn't bad either. 
 
There were a lot of old tractors and military vehicles there on display.  There was a glass blowing station where they were actually demonstrating how to blow glass (don't be dirty).  There were a lot of people dressed in war attire and a lot of little craft tents.

We had to park in a field and then be taken by bus to the actual festival so our babies got to take their first bus ride.  I think Monika and I both agree that we aren't in any rush to send our babies off on their first bus ride without us!
 
The Poppas were pushing the strollers while the Mommas were gossiping :)
 
Miss Maya looks thrilled!

Only my child. 
 

 Baby Girl sortof kindof looks like the devil here...kind of scary.

But she did like the horse.
 
And so did Miss Maya!
 

Like I said, it wasn't quite what we had expected but it was ok.  We got to eat some good food and Monika and her husband got to try some PA Dutch foods they had never tasted before.  It was a nice day for our families and that's all that matters!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
