Apple & Pork Fest Weekend

With Christmas just right around the corner, Corey and I thought it would be good to go to the Apple and Pork Fest. We headed up to Clinton Friday and spent about 6 hours of shopping through tons of vendors and antiques. We met up with Grandma Debbie and Papa Bobby that morning and we all kind of hung out all day. Kyleah did amazing btw! She was just enjoying all the people and telling everyone "Hi" and "Byyee" the whole time. And you can't go to a festival and not eat any of the great greasy food! We enjoyed a heaping pile of cheesy fries and a walleye sandwich! We found a few Christmas gifts and were satisfied. We started down the other part of town and ate some yummy fudge! We walked up and down the streets (people set up their own little shops in front of their homes) and found Kyleah and awesome present! About that time we had plans to meet up with friends, so we headed out and took Kyleah to Grandma Netters to stay the night. We met up with a couple friends at Filippo's and then headed out to Sliders to enjoy some drinks. We hadn't hung out with them for over a year and it was great to get back together and we forgot how much fun we had together. We had alot of catching up to do and ended up listening to a pretty good band that night too! After finally climbing into bed after a long long day, morning came pretty fast. The next morning, we met up with Corey's mom and Grandma in Clinton to get Little Monkey. All 5 of us headed back over to the Apple and Pork Fest to finish browsing and shopping. Again, we got some more yummy food and found more gifts! We only spent a few hours there, but we were tired from a busy weekend and we had finally covered the whole festival. It turned out to be a pretty nice day (and weekend) and had tons of fun with our families and friends!

May The Walking Begin?

Last Friday Kyleah and I headed to Aunt Jady's to visit her, cousin Brandon, and cousin Alyssa! It's not very often that Kyleah gets to spend time with more than one cousin at a time. Kyleah and Alyssa were having a blast together, and by "having a blast" I mean getting into everything! Oh and trampling Aunt Jady with a falling screen door. After scoping out the hundreds of trolls, again, Kyleah got up and decided to Walk down the hallway! We couldn't believe it! After attempting this two more times and crashing into the woodwork, Kyleah had enough! Alyssa loved it and for alot of the evening kept grabbing ahold of Kyleah's shirt and saying "Alk alk". This ended up getting us in trouble when Kyleah lost her footing and hit her head on the cabinet. Kyleah instantly had a goose-egg on her forehead! Poor cousin Brandon couldn't even watch a movie without Kyleah changing the channel. Definitely an eventful evening, but great to see them all together! One of the first things I said to Alyssa when I saw her was "Are you going to teach Kyleah how to walk?", since then Kyleah has started walking and I think she is kind of getting the hang of it!
