Festival Saturday

Last Saturday (Oct. 10), we went festival crazy! We already had tickets for Day Out with Thomas in Burnet (about an hour away), but Burnet was also having a Farmers' Market and a Nature Fest. Before we headed to ride Thomas, we checked out the Nature Fest. First, we met Smokey Bear. Adam is still getting over his fear of people dressed in furry costumes. He managed to get close enough to take a picture and get a sticker.

Then we checked out the exhibit for a youth hunting group. A group that hunts WITH their youth, not for them! Adam and Lottie got to check out a lot of dead fur, some turkey feathers, and skulls.

They then got to dig for bees and bugs in the sand. Their reward - stickers!

After Day Out with Thomas (post to come), we decided to stop in Lampasas on the way home for their Herb and Art Festival. It was more of an Herb and Crafts Festival, but really nice anyway. Adam got to ride a pony for about fifteen minutes, which Lottie thought was really funny. We tried a German restaurant that was more Southern (American) than authentic German. We still had a great time, and the kids crashed as soon as we got home!
