Fun fall days

I LOVE THE FALL!  The weather is still pretty warm, but not as humid and unbearably hot.  And it smells so good and the trees are so pretty and I can eat candy corn and everything pumpkin and I just love it!  We've done a couple of fun things so far to celebrate. 

The end of September, we went to the North Georgia State Fair which was pretty close to us.  I had read that they would have bear and dog shows, as well as rides and food and the normal fair things.  But we didn't know this fair would be huge and the bear show was incredible!  Three big bears came out and rode bikes, climbed stairs, shot basketballs, etc., right in front of us.  So cool!  Ethan loved the dog show with dogs catching frisbees, etc. and of course the rides.   

The beginning of October, we went to Carrollton for Meccafest. My dad's band was playing, so we got to hear his wonderful music while Ethan had fun with the kid activities.  Lilah got TONS of comments on the little hippie outfit she was wearing that Dad and Jeanette had gotten for her at a music festival.  What a cutie :)  That night we got to go hear the band play at a restaurant while Ethie made a new best friend.  He is very good at that!

Then last weekend, we went to a haunted corn maze in north Georgia with Mom, Scotty, Ashley, and Brandon.  We tried to go to one, got lost, and somehow ended up at a different one.  But it was fun!  The maze was a little scary for Ethie, but he was fine on James' shoulders with his hands over his ears.  One of the guys even came out and took his mask off to show Ethie it was just pretend.  I forget he's still little sometimes!  He loved the petting zoo and the hayride and we all had fun!
