Well, we had a fun little Saturday morning. Our little family has been hitting the festival circuit these past few weekends. Kyle got tickets to the Kiwanis' pancake breakfast in Paris, IL. This is the weekend of their Honey Bee Festival so the pancake tent was set up in the thick of it.
The Kiwanis had a really neat rotating griddle that allowed them to make probably 50 pancakes at a time. It was very efficient and impressive.
Here Kyle is explaining to Evangeline what the sausage is on her plate...
After we had had our fill of he Honey Bee fest we drove over to the fair grounds to another festival, of sorts, put on by the historical society. Now, this was cool. People had very authentic tee-pees set up. One tee-pee owner I spoke with said that he and his family spend about 6 months of a year in it, and I don't think he was kidding.
There were also lots of people in period clothing making baskets, selling wooden toys, cooking over a campfire. There were blacksmiths and vendors. I almost bought one of these prairie dresses. They were beautiful....kind of kicking myself.
There were all sorts of treasures for sale.
There were the most adorable little sheep there. They were baaaing like crazy and were quite loud. Evangeline thought it very amusing.
This sheep couple had the cutest little baby. It was precious.
Here are my finds from the day....bought all three for a song.
After coming back home and playing with her wooden blocks (a yard sale find from last spring) and making a bed for kitty we all took naps.
A very lovely Saturday indeed.
