today, we headed out to arcadia university for fall fest.  it isn’t hard to get john excited about going to visit my alma mater.  all we need to say is that we are going to visit the castle.  i had other intentions.  i was going to meet up beth.  it’s been a long time since we have seen each other and today was the opportunity for our kids to meet too.

all the clubs had tables with crafts or treats for the kids.  john had a good time trying cotton candy, pretzels, and dirt pudding.  he also got to make a bracelet and pin the tail on the donkey.  he was a little afraid to get his face painted and do some other crafts.  but i really think he had a good time walking through the tables.

it was a windy day in glenside.  we sat down for lunch and while i was up getting some more food, the wind blew and an entire glass of iced tea spilled all over john.  his shirt was a little wet, but his pants were soaking wet.  we haven’t had an accident in a long time, so i don’t carry additional clothes for him in the diaper bag.  kyle ran down to the book store in the hopes that there would be something we could find something that would fit him.  unfortunately, there were no options for little boys.  so we ended up leaving early and hitting up the local target so he didn’t have to spend the entire car ride home in wet pants. 

we had such a good time.  i am sure that if we didn’t have the accident meg and john would have had more fun together.  on the car ride home, john said to me, “mommy, can we go to the beach with megan?”  he is already looking forward to our next visit (me too john).
