We Hutsons took advantage of the gorgeous weekend we had and headed on over to Bean Blossom, IN for the Morel Festival. We had a fun, fun time. Evangeline had a few firsts over the weekend which included first time in the porta-potty and first tick. Boy was she excited to camp.
There were some fun activities for the kids to do. She got to decorate a mushroom cookie, decorate a flower pot and plant some wildflower seeds, get a balloon from a balloon artist, get her face painted and make a bracelet. After listing to a few bands we went to Nashville. We visited the shops and ate dinner at the Artist Colony. Evangeline's favorite was the Christmas shop. Her jaw dropped to the floor when we entered the place.
Later that night we listened to a few more bands before heading back to our campsite. Evangeline was a total dancing queen. She was the only one out there. There was a sea of people and a little girl just cutting loose between that sea and the band. At one point between songs I asked her if she wanted to walk back up to the vendors and get a drink and rest. Her reply, "no, I'm ready to rock".
It was not a bad night sleep considering we were in public campground.
We had a pretty spot. Our site was framed in blooming Redbuds and there was a cattle pasture behind us.
After we packed up and stopped for breakfast at the Scholars Inn Bake House in Bloomington, we headed to the farm for a hike in the woods.
Evangeline has been talking lately about how she wants a pet ladybug like Lily's from Peter Rabbit. She had a whole big plan for it. It was going to live in one of her plastic eggs from her Easter basket....Well, we found a ladybug in the woods and she was SO excited about it. She named it Florence. I think she expected it would just stay with her and fly around after her. She was disappointed when it flew off. We had to have a little talk about realism/fantasy.
Nature Girl insisted that she bring blankie into the woods with her.
I thought this flower was so pretty the way it was growing out of this rock.
Evangeline sat on Kyle's lap from the pond back to the house and "drove" the car. She thought it was the best thing in the world.
Grandma's apple and pear trees are in full bloom.
