Folk Fest

We went to Mountain View this weekend to visit the Fowlkes and went to the Folk Fest. Nathan thought it was the "Fowlkes Festival" and wanted to know why there wasn't an "Adams Festival".

Tyler's grandma lives on Main Street, so we watched the parade from her front yard. We were at the beginning of the parade route, so note the huge pile of candy the boys gathered. The parade was pretty good, but the most random "floats" were some lone guy walking his cow and the beauty-queen-style car that carried TV personality Vic Schedler. I didn't even know he was still alive.

We gave Will a Batman costume for a belated birthday present. Nathan brought his Spiderman costume to wear, but they switched outfits. We told them that they could wear the costumes to the parade, and they ended up wearing them all day.


There were lots of "folksy" things going on at the Folk Fest (obviously), but we mostly spent our time eating. We kicked back in the grass and had corndogs for lunch...typical pioneer food, I'm sure. And then we had ice cream for dessert. Check out the size of Nathan's cone - and that was a single scoop. Quite a deal for $1.50!

  1. Who is the extra kid? If my count is right there are too many children in this picture.

  2. Yeah, there were a couple of extra kids there for the parade, and one of them is in the picture (the boy on the far left). From the left, it's Tyler and Jennifer, Ashley in the stroller - I'm still lovin' the Sit-N-Stand - and Evan (almost 2) in the green hat. Then there's me, Will (Spiderman) and Nathan (Batman).
