The Base held its annual FALL FEST this past weekend. We heard that it was on Saturday and Sunday, but not one explained that Saturday was the "main" day. Sunday's was just a few vendors, and it wasn't nearly as exciting.
But just the same, Linda came over and she, I, and the boys hung out for an hour or so at the fest while John and Shane talked boy stuff back at home with Scrubby and Abigail. We got to see these camels (check out Dan and Rowan on this one below). But neither of the boys was interested in riding.
We got to see these donkeys below. And one of the Turkish men, before anyone realized what had happened, scooped up Elijah and put him on the donkey. He was not too happy about it. I love this picture, below, as it has Sparky the Firedog riding with a little boy. Sparky comes around on Base a lot to teach about fire safety. The boys actually attended a demonstration at a house with Sparky a few weeks back. Big men in animal suits used to scare both boys, but Isaac gave Sparky a hug this year, and Elijah actually gave him a high five or two.
I also let the boys try cotton candy for the very first time! It was no surprise to me that Isaac (who loves sweets) loved it! (After I showed him that you could in fact eat it.) But Elijah, as usual when it comes to sweets, likes to get what his brother gets, but ends up completely unimpressed. He so just wants the meat and potatoes!
We also let the boys spend quite a bit of time jumping in this castle, below. Jumpy castles are all the rave here on Base. You can rent them for events, and you can usually find one to jump in every week. I think they are just a fun bit of entertainment for our remote location:
