Yes, that really is a place. It’s about 45 minutes west of us. They were having an Oktoberfest celebration today, so we decided to go. Despite the sun it was pretty breezy and chilly outside, so Luke was wearing several layers. The drive over was lovely and the festival was interesting. Most of downtown was blocked off, so walking around was nice. Lots of vendors selling junk, a loud band, and a cool car show. We found the bakers who normally sell at the Columbia farmer’s market and bought pretzels from them. We had a picnic lunch at a playground in town, then returned home via Summertown. That took a while since the “20 mile yard sale” was happening along that route. Back at the house we spent the afternoon playing, had dinner, then bath time.

I got an early start hauling the sand to the site and unloading it. Then the mason emailed to say that he wouldn’t make it until maybe Saturday. So I finished the sand, cleaned the footings, returned the U-Haul trailer, packed up, then drove home. I stopped on the way at the Swiss Pantry in Belvidere, which was nice. I had never been before. It was good to see Luke and Liz. I arrived just in time for lunch. We spent the afternoon reading and playing, then went to the playground after his nap. The weather is lovely and it was great to be outside. Dinner and bath time both went well. Liz is at the grocery store now. I should probably be cleaning or something.

We went to the greenway and farmer’s market first thing this morning. Then we raced up to the doctor’s office in Cool Springs. Luke had a few bug bites that Liz wanted to get checked out. It took a long time and we got back home for a late lunch. Then Luke had a nap. His only one of the day. This afternoon we went to the park in Spring Hill. Luke had lots of fun with his beach ball.
