A "Green" Weekend

       No, we weren't recycling. The first "green" activity was to go to the Frogtober Fest in the next town over! The Frogtober Fest was name for a rock jutting out of the side of the embankment next to the highway that  was shaped like a frog, and then subsequently painted like a frog by a local artist.
 Isn't this quaint?

      The Frogtober Fest had a few arts and crafts booths (camo dresses for your daughter anyone?--not me!) some deep fried selections, a jump castle, pony rides and emergency vehicles to climb on. Grady loved climbing in the fire truck and ambulance. If you ask him if he had fun, he would say, "Uh-huh. Dog poop." That's because he stepped in some kind of poop (I think horse) before walking all over the fire truck upholstery. Oops!

     He also wanted to ride the ponies. Actually, he wanted to ride the big white horse, but we talked him into the pony. (I was really surprised because last time he was around horses and Christmas he was very scared.) 

      Grady enjoy the first 2 laps on the pony, but then the pony got and itch and started twitching its body. Grady started sliding off the other side, so I had to grab him to keep from falling. He cried and wanted to get off the horse. If you ask him if he had fun riding the horse he says, "Uh-huh. I fall off." I correct him and say, "No... Mama caught you! You did not fall!"

     His other "green" adventure was on the golf green with Dad. 
      He spent half of the time using the club as a rake and the other half climbing on the parked golf carts.  I sat home and relaxed with a glass of ....grape kool-aid.
