High: Eating an early dinner at the Flying Fish. We didn't have to wait long, and Bella Loved seeing all the fish.
High: Meeting friends at the Zoo on Saturday morning while John was working Race for the Cure. Animals are always a hit with the girls.
Low: Trying to leave the Zoo, and Bella throwing a massive fit, which included sliding out of the stroller on purpose.
High: Having friends that take pictures of the said event, knowing that you will be glad to have it documented and then remembering that you have Capri Suns to bribe your kids with.
High: ATTENDING THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CHEESE DIP FESTIVAL!
This deserves to be in all-caps, because it is a festival all about cheese dip. While there, I realized that I have never met a cheese dip that I don't like. (Except the one that I didn't try, because it was supposed to be so hot. It was so hot, that a photographer wanted to take John's picture while he was trying it. John's reaction was really anticlimactic, which I could have told the guy, but he did start hiccuping from the hotness.)
This festival was named one of the top 10 Food Festivals in the country by Gourmet magazine (the website told me this, I do not read Gourmet magazine). It really was a ton of fun. What is not to like about going from tent to tent and getting more cheese dip?
What old pros do, which we will do next year, is bring muffin tins to carry around your cheese dip, so you can easily sample it all. Cheese dip brilliance!
I will say that it may not have been the most kid-friendly of events, though the girls did enjoy their lunch of chips. We are awesome parents.
There were some really fun bounce houses, and Bella was so worn out that she fell asleep mid-chip-eating on the way home.
High: Enjoying the fall color that is starting to really creep in.
High: Having John home after a busy week and enjoying a late afternoon trip to the park in the beautiful weather.
Why would you want to play on the playground when there is this awesome drainage ditch?
High: Watching Cinderella as a family on Saturday night. The girls, especially Lily, loved it!
Low: On Sunday, I felt miserable and ended up sleeping almost the whole day after church. Thankfully, John was able to help out, and I am feeling mostly better today, but that is certainly not an ideal way to spend a gorgeous afternoon.
And, here we are on Monday, and I am realizing that there are a million and one things that I need/want to do this week. Here goes nothing.

I can only imagine the glory that is the CHEESE DIP FESTIVAL! Oh my, my mouth is watering! On my last trip to our fave Mexican place, I ordered only cheese dip and guacamole to accompany my complimentary chips and salsa. My meal was a dip trifecta, and I did not share! :)
what is it about drainage ditches? My kids play in them too, which I think is slightly disgusting.
