the FEAST

This weekend we splurged and attended an annual event held here called, "The Feast of the Hunter's Moon". We had heard about it every year in the past but could never get past the $12/ person (under 4 are free) to enter for an event that was never clear to us as to what it was.

However, after numerous recommendations to go, we braved the rainy, colder Fall morning and went. It's basically, a reenactment of a mid-1700s trading post held at the historic Fort near where we live (in other words, lots and lots of vendors selling authentic food, clothing, and things from that time period as well as some shows and events to attend throughout the day).

Efforts to see the Cannon Presentation.

Which is SOO LOUD! Yes, yes, I know, cannons are loud but the kind of loud where you cover your ears and know that it is coming and every part of your body, still jumps. Brycen thought it was pretty awesome. Lots of unhappy babies though.

And the food was absolutely, amazingly delicious. It was all cooked on open fires as it would be back then and purely worth every penny (which we found to be pretty reasonable). This was Fry Bread that you, of course, decorate with yummy powdered sugar. Brycen was so worried how messy it made Mommy that he refused to try it. His loss :)

And the joggling show was another very fun part of the day. Quite entertaining.

The jogglers were not only good at what they did but were funny; which just added to the overall enjoyable show.

2.5 of us. You get the idea :)

Brycen's souvenir.

A bird whistle. He LOVES it, it is so easy for him to use (big, big plus), and the awesome noise that comes out, never fails to surprise him...even, 2 days later.

We enjoyed the food (our other samplings included: pork chops, homemade root beer, pumpkin muffin, lemon water (lemonade) and turkey noodle soup) and the environment so much, that we have already decided that we will be going next year-as it will probably be our last year here (crazy to think, right??). And if you can forget that you paid to get into the place (still not sure what the entrance fee goes to) where you basically keep paying for everything on top of it, it makes for even more of an enjoyable fun family day. :)
