Harvest Festival

We took the girls to a local harvest festival over the weekend, and we were reminded how deep in the south we live now. The tone was set as we came in and several men were picking their banjos. There was the usual caramel and candied apples that we expected, but we had chicken and dumplings with either butter beans or greens for lunch...all served with a corn cake. Grace and Madeline had a couple pony rides, but Charlotte changed her mind after getting on her pony. Then Grace and Madeline took a turn on a bungee jumper and both loved it. Charlotte and Madeline spent a lot of time by the chicken coop listening to a goose and some turkeys, and Grace had a run-in with a Yankee soldier then explored a Confederate tent camp. As we were leaving we watched some teenagers tap dancing to "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." It seemed par for the course.
