This year was Drew and Anna Kate's 4th Foothills Fall Festival. The weekend is so much fun and something I look forward to every year. We had wonderful weather and Drew and Anna Kate got to go all 3 days! They went for a short time on Friday to play in the kid's area with their Mamaw & Papaw. On Saturday, John Clay and I took them back to the play area after their nap. We had tickets to go to the concert Saturday night so after they bounced in a few inflatables, we met Mamaw & Papaw and Tami for the concert. Aunt Ashley laughed because besides going to watch their Daddy play with his band, Drew and Anna Kate are going to be able to tell everyone that their first concert was Lynard Skynyrd! They had a blast! They got to eat yummy, fair-type food, had their first taste of funnel cake, and dance to the band! On our way out of the concert, Drew spotted one of his very favorite things right now.... a school bus! He got more excited about all of the school buses shuttling people than he did about the inflatables and rides in the kiddie land. They were all lined up waiting to people to come out of the concert. I asked one of the drivers if could get on his bus since Drew loves them so much but has never been on one. To say he was excited might be an understatement. He was really shy while we were on it but once he got off he started jumping and yelling to John Clay and Anna Kate that he got on a school bus (by the way, Anna Kate wanted nothing to do with getting on that bus)!! And if the night couldn't have gotten any better, we saw a police man blocking the street and he turned his blue lights on. What a great night! On Sunday after we went to Gabby's birthday party, we headed back to the Festival with Aunt Ashley and DotDot. This time we went to crafts and vendor area and went to see Grandaddy and his tractor and corn shelling display. The original plan was for Drew and Anna Kate to go home with DotDot to spend the night and John Clay and I were going to the concert to see Rascal Flatts play. Sunday morning, when I told Drew and Anna Kate we would be going back to the Fall Festival that afternoon, Anna Kate asked me if she was going to get to dance and sing again. They had such a good time, we decided to take them back with us. As an added bonus we managed to find a ticket for Aunt Ashley so she went with us. They had a wonderful time again and Anna Kate especially really got in to the music. She danced and clapped her hands. Since we birthday partied during nap time, they didn't last very long before they were tired and ready to leave but we still had a great time!
Corndogs, a sweet tea bigger than your head and a funnel cake (their first) were on the dinner menu for Saturday night!
Drew and "his" tractor
Drew, Anna Kate, and Grandaddy on the tractor. I have one of these for every year since they were just a couple of months old. I love to see the difference a year makes and how much they have changed! It does not even seem like a year ago that they were there as newborns.

Apparently the Fall Festival is synonymous with junk food! But it is all SO good!
