Who Knew?

So...the other week Dave came home and told me that when he was working in Ligonear, IN, he saw a sign about The Marshmallow Festival! What?!?!?!? How exciting is that. A festival all about marshmallows. Fun! How can you pass up an opportunity such as this?

So yesterday, Jeff, Keely, Dave, I, Kim and Brady loaded up the mini-van and headed down to Ligonear. We arrived just in time for the Bradester to participate in the Marshmallow Olympics. Yep..that's right, the Marshmallow Olympics.

Here are Brady and Mommy

Putt-Putt. Not an easy task, those

'mallows have a mind of their own.

Nothing like a little Marshmallow
Lacrosse to make your day complete!

Unfortunately, the Marshmallow Olympics was about all that was going on when we got there. The definate highlight was the free bag of marshmallows we got for coming. What's better than marshmallows...especially when their free?!?!?!?! We didn't know what to expect when we got there, so we walked around for a few more minutes and had had enough. We didn't really want to stick around and wait for the vendors to open for the overly priced fair food, so we decided to continue our adventure and go shopping in Shipshewana.

We had a great time walking through the town and in and out of the little shops. It's such a quaint, simple town that forces you to slow down and enjoy! We did! Dave even had time for an extremely short nap!

We had a great time! It was the perfect start to a long Labor Day Weekend!
