Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit?

Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing.

I think he has found his true calling.

Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig.

Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who

asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not

think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number 

7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his

work soft ball shirt.

He is actually enjoying himself.

The crowd behind me was going wild for him.  He was just so

animated and actually pretty good.

Here is Xander.  1st he had cotton candy, and then he enjoyed some

ice cream.  When I asked him what his favorite part of the

festival was, he said "the cotton candy, the ice cream, oh just eating."

Here is Savannah enjoying her ice cream on such a hot afternoon.

It had been cool and rainy all week.  At the festival, it was sunny and

92 degrees.  YIKES!

Here is Emalene enjoying her sweet treat.  Isn't she cute?

Here is Ethan and Denzil.  Ethan was so excited to have a sleepover

with his best friend.  Finally someone his age.

Ok, here is my Ruby Isabella.  Larry Denzil bought the cotton candy for little Larry 

but could not find him and Ruby wanted it.  Then Larry Denzil bought

the ice cream for himself and again, Ruby wanted it.  Can you tell she gets just about

everything she wants.

Ok, the Hendersonville air museum was there and had this little fun ride.

My kids enjoyed it so much and it was the only free ride there.

Here is Xander and Emalene.  Xander is such a sweet heart.

Here is the gang hanging out.  They are all 

wearing McCain stickers that some men were

handing out.  This festival had lots of little free things.

Here is Ruby and big brother Xander.

He loves her so much.

They had these beautiful statues all over the place.

I do not know what they were for, but Xander wanted to hop on all 

of them.

Here is the Dippin Dots man.  Dippin Dots are a huge

fad here.  I have never actually had them tough.

Here are all the kids.  Look at Ruby in the middle.

Her leg is stretched out to the side like that to prevent

Ethan from sitting next to her.  She does this everyday 

at school in the double stroller.  Poor little guy 

just cannot catch a break.

Ethan and Denzil were truly inseparable.  They rode in the car together

and walked together and just shared everything.  It was

truly nice to see. 

Here are my two youngest.  I hope you all enjoy the pictures

 as much as we enjoyed the festival.  We came away with many memories and a 

bushel of Granny Smith and Empire apples.  MMMMM!
