Friday morning I started our crock pot stew. It was goooood. Chris ended up going out with some people from work, so I ate by myself. But he got home early (they met up with some people that had gotten laid off recently.) Then we played each other in Tetris, and then played a game where we worked together to clear as many lines as possible and it's harder than you might think.
Saturday we had no real plans. Chris found a Maple Syrup Festival going on in Wakarusa, Indiana. Soooo... we decided to do this. It was about an hour and thirty minute drive. First of all it was a cute little town, and every other yard on almost every street was taking full advantage of the festival by having a yard sale. I'm not sure how close it is to Amish Country, but there is definitely a large Amish Community near-by. Lots of cute little girls in dresses, and little toddlers in their homemade overalls. The teenage boys all had the homemade pants, and shirts - but I'm curious about the hats...a lot of them had stocking caps on? Chris and I summed it up to "gang related" - hahaha! Okay so it does not seem so funny now. Anyway, there was some really cool booths on the strip. We watched BED RACES! And can I just say, it looked so insane, but so fun at the same time. We enjoyed free popcorn (yes you still get things for free at these festivals,) and while we ate it, we sat down and watched a guy sculpt a giant bear out of a large stump with a chain saw. We also bought a large cutting stone from one of the booths, and we enjoyed an elephant ear with a lemon shake-up! YUM, FAIR FOOD. Our last stop was to the Sugar Camp where we learned how to tap trees (again) and watched as the guy heated it all up to make Pure Maple Syrup. It was well worth the drive to get there... and yes, I forgot the camera and we DID remember to buy some of the Pure Maple Syrup. I'm making pancakes and sausage this weekend if any one wants to come visit.
