After the first week back teaching, I was excited to spend time with Dax and Jake this weekend. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and soaked up some fall fun.
On Saturday, we went to the St. Bonaventure carnival in Bloomington. It is just a few blocks from where I grew up so we met Grandpa and Grandma and headed over. On the way, it was fun to reminisce about going there every year as a child myself and hoping so badly to win a fish. That was not the goal this year. Instead, we checked out the silent auction, bought a few pull tabs, played several games of BINGO, and laughed as people frantically chased (and ran away from) the mouse that freed itself from the mouse-a-rama game. It was a relaxing way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

We took advantage of the perfect sunny fall-ish day and did some raking at home on Sunday. While he cannot be super helpful yet, Dax joined us outside and spent a little time playing in the leaves. He was interested in the sound that they made when he smashed them and liked to touch the pile, but was not happy when we laid him in the leaves for what we hoped would be a cute photo. Maybe next year he will be jumping in the pile instead!
