Grandma and Grandpa come to visit: Apple Fest

21 October 2012

While Grandma and Grandpa were here, Kate requested Grandma's Swedish pancakes for breakfast (and Grandma was happy to oblige).  
 Next we loaded up and went to Reid's Apple Festival.  We ate homemade corn dogs, pork burgers, freshly cut french fries, apples with carmel, and German roasted nuts.  Always a good time for food!  Kate wanted to ride on a few of the rides, so Grandpa took her to get tickets and then loaded her on the various rides.
 Kate enjoyed the helicopter ride, waving as she went around.  After this, Kate and her daddy went on the tilt-a-whirl.  She was not as amused on this one, but there were no tears and she lasted for the whole thing.
 After that, she was content riding on "slower" rides.  She asked Grandpa to go with her on the carousel.  Normally she would ride a horse, but she wanted to ride in the carriages and wanted Grandpa to stay on.
 Practicing their waves.
 Jack was happy to hand out with Daddy and watch Kate go 'round and 'round.


 We took a little breather and ate some apples with caramel.  YUM!
 I liked the sign next to this ride.
A great visit with the grandparents, and we will see you guys in April!
