Festival day!

A lovely Saturday was had by all this past weekend. Got some mommy time at a resale event by myself while Gram took the babes. Got Jack's fall wardrobe for about $50! Then Bec and I took Jackie boy to play at the bounce houses at the Lincoln school fall festival. He loved everything about it, not just the bounce houses but eating pizza and popcorn and brownies and getting a baloon sword and running into the neighbor family there. When did he get to be such a KID??

We met Nat downtown to explore the Ingenuity Festival for the evening. It was located on the Detroit-Superior Bridge this year. It's a great space... I am not sure I love Ingenuity being there, as I rather liked the way it sprawled into some unused neighborhoods of the city. I think Cleveland could manage to support a Bridge Festival AND an Ingenuity Festival, in my opinion. Still-- it was a neat venue and a lovely, if breezy, evening to be out. Jack had fun drawing on walls, playing with cat puppets, and dancing to music . His favorite part was walking over the river on the metal grates, and stopping to look down and exclaim "OOOH! Look down THERE!!" every single time there was a gap to look through. Much to amusement of passers-by and the chagrin of his mom-who-is-afraid-of-heights. "Yes, Jack, yes I see it down there...", studiously avoiding looking down, myself...

It is fall-crisp out these past few days (thank you!!) and the leaves are turning (quite brilliant, really) and it will be October this week. Wow. Trips to the Orchard and LakeFarm Park to schedule in. Nat's off to a wedding this weekend; friends Jamo and Casey visit the weekend after that. Life flies on...
