Friday night and Saturday morning/afternoon was full of relaxing, cleaning, organizing, and prepping for our garage sale.
Saturday night the fun began! It was date night for Wally and I. Our first real date since our anniversary last October - yikes! My parents were planning on coming on Sunday anyways so we asked them to come up on Saturday evening so we could get out alone.
Here we are ready for our night out!
We headed to downtown Frankfort to eat at Francesca's, an Italian restaurant. We had gift cards from Wally's baseball team for there so we thought we would check it out. The menu was small, but the food was pretty good, as well as the bottle of wine we shared! After dinner, we headed just down the block to a bar for a few more drinks, conversation, and music. It was really great, but sadly I had a bit too much to drink for my first time in about 11 months - oops!
We have decided that we will do date night once a month. Both of our parents and family are more than willing to watch the kids for us anytime so we need to take more advantage of that!
Moving on to Sunday...we headed to the Frankfort Fall festival. I blogged about it last year. What we missed last year though was the parade on Sunday. This parade is huge (it lasted an hour and a half) and people start putting their chairs along the route beginning very early Sunday morning. Now we know to do this next year (and bring a cooler too!).
On our way to find a spot to watch the parade. Luke has popcorn and cotton candy - he is happy :)
Waiting for the parade to start!
Guess what Paige did throughout the majority of the parade???
The theme of the parade this year was The Wizard of Oz so when we were out the night before Luke watched the movie with Grammy & Papa and loved it! His favorite = the wicked witch :)
Look who finally woke up!
Luke enjoyed the parade somewhat. He got lots of candy, but the sirens and the horns were a little loud (and close) for him. He may have freaked out a bit!
His favorite = garbage truck! Ha!
His least favorite = whatever this truck is called! It blew it's horn right in front of us and I think everyone jumped. Luke was not happy!
After the parade, we walked around to check out all of the craft vendors and then it was time to hit up the carnival for Luke and a funnel cake for me :) I think we will be making this an annual event with my parents - it was lots of fun!
Luke chose the purple car to ride in and then a little girl came and sat with him. Smart boy :)
I caught my dad taking a picture of me in line for a funnel cake!
Monday was Circus Day! The Kelly Miller circus was at Balmoral Racetrack (about 10 minutes from us). Grandma and Grandpa Z. came along with us! It was a small, but very good circus. It was a very windy, chilly day, but under the Big Top we were just fine.
(He still has his cotton candy from the day before!)
At intermission Luke went for a walk with Grandma and Grandpa and the next thing I know, Grandpa is coming over telling me to take pictures because Luke is going to ride the elephant with Grandma! He had a smile on his face the entire time!
Oh and Paige slept the whole time - surprise, surprise!
By Monday night, we were all exhausted, but it was worth it for such a fun, family-filled weekend!
