FESTIVALS!!!!!!!

I love, love, LOVE festivals!! 
With our vacation plans having gone down the toilet I started a search for something fun to do this holiday weekend, boy did I find something!

Sunflower Farm Festival! 

I love sunflowers, they make me all kinds of happy!
Anyway, the SFF was wonderful! The whole event was on a smaller scale than most festivals but had some great local artists and blue grass bands.
The only down side- It was hotter than the devil's lake front property that day! Really, you have to understand, I wore a navy blue sundress and I rocked a giant sweat mark down the back of my dress the whole time. Not cute. 
My girls really enjoyed it (the festival, not the heat) and they had a lot of free activities for the kids to do so that made me happy as well.
Some of the activities we enjoyed were the hayride through sunflower field, cutting and getting to take home our fresh sunflowers, touring an 1811 farm house, walking through an enchanted forest, arts and craft area, and a petting zoo.....

We love chickens at our house. It is a sickness, and I am proud of the fact that my kids handle chickens like baby dolls. :)

I think these two escaped the fryer.......... 
Later we found out they are turkens, a cross between a turkey and a chicken.
They were so ugly I wanted to take one home. Boss man said no. Boo!!

All in all we really enjoyed the Sunflower Farm Festival and will return next year for all the fun and festivities.
It was a win win in my book because 1. I LOVE festivals! and 2.

I LOVE sunflowers!
