It's been a while... but big news!

I haven't written a post in a few days.  That's because it's been relatively quiet around here.  Jule had a friend to spend the night here on Friday (Andrea) and the girls watched movies until the wee hours of the morning.  We slept late, ran some errands, and then ended up at the Alexander house on Saturday night helping Marissa with some crafts she's making for a school fundraiser.  Then Sunday we slept late (again) and then went to the Alexander's (again) because they were having bar-be-que ribs.  We love to eat, so.... this was an obvious choice.  While waiting on the food, Jule had her first experience playing American baseball with a baseball glove.

Shawn had bought Mango Pepsi, and Jule tried it.  (She said it's good.)  As I've mentioned before... we have so many more twists on brands in America.  I think one reason is because our stores are so much larger (super stores) and they have room to display many more products.  Thus 19 different types of Oreo cookies.   :)

This weekend we attend and participate in the Redneck Games of Arkansas in Clinton.  Then we'll attend the Harvest Festival at Wildwood Park on Sunday.
  

Harvest Festival:  HARVEST! Festival celebrates the sights, sounds and aromas of autumn in Arkansas. HARVEST! is home to Wildwood’s Arkansas Pickin’ & Fiddlin’ Championship, which provides a background of bluegrass music for hay rides, a hay fort, pumpkin patch, vendors of Arkansas homemade crafts and wares, miniature railroad and garden railroad displays, an iron forging competition, a culinary competition, wholesome foods for purchase, and a variety of family arts activities. A special treat this year features Americana performances provided by Ballet Arkansas.

Jule's first quarter at school ends next Thursday (October 18th).  Because of this, she has a day off school on Friday, which means that we have a three-day weekend where we can do some traveling a little further away.  

Where are we going next weekend?

Can you guess?
