Wow!!! I just felt an earthquake!!! I’ve lived in the midwest my entire life, and I never thought I would experience one, and we did, and it was a bit scary.
The kids slept right through it, but I don’t know if I will be able to sleep tonight. That was unreal.

This is our second year visiting the Fall Festival/Pumpkin Patch benefiting Relay for Life, and we picked a beautiful day to go to it. We had to go later in the day this time around, so we missed out on the pumpkins, but we still had a great time.
There are hayrides, wagon rides, and lots of activities for the kids too. There are also tasty treats, and it is for a fantastic cause.
We were there in the afternoon, and there was a lot of people enjoying the festival.
I got to ride the wagon ride with Thade, but Dylan was anxious to check out the petting zoo.
The baby calves were too cute.
Dylan hopes to one day have a calf.
That little boy loves cows! The calf was really sweet, and we all got to pet him.
The boys both got their faces painted,
and we finished off the day with a Funnel cake.
So much fun, and super tasty too.

Autumn Day At The Fort
Dylan didn’t have preschool yesterday, and he wanted to do something fun. We needed to stay in town with Thade in school, and one of Dylan’s very favorite local sites to visit is the Fort. Well we call it The Fort, it is really the Fort Scott National Historic Site. 
I like the Fort even better now that they have waived all admission fees.
It makes the historic Civil War site feel less like a museum, and more like a welcoming park.
We walk a different way every time we visit,
and Dylan loves to find something new.
We’ll be visiting the Fort again soon, I can’t wait to see the leaves to turn their pretty autumn colors.
It is also great exercise for a busy preschooler, the walking trails are wonderful.
So what is one of your favorite local sites that you like to visit?

This was the first year that we missed the tractor parade, well it’s the parade that kicks off the Pioneer Harvest Fiesta. I thought that since we missed the parade, maybe we should check out the event and see what it was all about.
There was an arts & crafts exhibit, food vendors, lots of interactive displays, and of course engines and tractors galore.
Dylan loved the wooden tractor display. We even met the gentleman that carved them all by hand.
This was one of the most unique tractors, and it had a loud train whistle.
Dylan just loves the John Deere tractors, they are his favorite color green.
Dylan just loves those tractors!
We stopped off for the most delicious homemade ice cream.
Agnes wasn’t so sure about all the tractors, but she was a trooper about it.
The Pioneer Harvest Fiesta was a lot of fun, I’m glad we spent the day enjoying the Autumn weather.
