Scarecrow Fest

This weekend was Scarecrow Fest in St Charles, and we thought it would be fun for Andrew to go. We found a relatively close parking spot & went to walk around and look at the crafts. I decided I must not be too crafty as I, with money in hand, could not find anything to buy! Maybe we were looking at the wrong booths! Andrew was already getting fussy & he was red because he was so hot! We went in search of a sno cone for him to cool him down & give him a little treat. Success! And, he (and Mike) absolutely loved it! We walked over by the rides to see if there was anything he would be big enough to go on. We were wishing his cousin Liam was with us, because there were quite a few I think he would have enjoyed, but we weren't so sure he'd remain seated...hence the "big brother" would have been very handy! We opted for the carosaul, because Mike was able to ride with him. My motion sickness has crippled me on such rides! I stood on the side to take pictures of the first carnival ride (and even just watching the thing go round and round was almost enough to do me in!). Andrew loved it so much he didn't want to get off! We then made our way up to the pumpkins to look around, but by this time - after spending an hour and a half in 90 some degrees & humid, Andrew was done, so we bypassed the pumpkins, got a couple caramel apples & headed home. Kind of a quick trip, but at least we got that carnival ride in!
