This weekend we headed up north to the Indiana Dunes to meet my Mom and Marc to go camping. Last minute I discovered that the Wizard of Oz festival was canceled this year and was very disappointed. The weather was really hot this week but thankfully it cooled down on Friday. I was actually very chilly Friday night. Thank goodness for camp fires!
Since the Oz Fest was canceled, we decided to go to the European Market in downtown Chesterton instead. We started with breakfast at Peggy Sue's, a cute little diner on the square.
Then we walked around the market and I was just drawn to this antique bookstore. I found a copy of the Legends of Sleepy Hollow for Reese. She was awesome all weekend walking around pretending to read it and looking for a bookmark when she needed to stop. The best part was that this wasn't a picture book. A great addition to our personal library and a great way to prepare for the Headless Horseman Nights at Conner Prairie.
Then we went to Garwood Orchards to go apple picking!
The apples were gigantic!
Then we picked some raspberries.
And Reese was able to take a ride on Sugar, a 13 year old pony.
We headed back to the campsite to just hang out for the rest of the day. Then Reese became this scary skeleton.
Bitty came with us this weekend and Reese was a wonderful mother to her.
Sunday morning we knew rain was eminent so we walked up to the Nature Center then packed everything up and stopped at Big Fish Mountain, which is what I called Bass Pro Shop.
At Big Fish Mountain, my Mom bought Reese a Roly-Poly Playground. As soon as we got home, we had to go walk into the woods by our apartment to find bugs to enjoy their new home. We were not having very much luck, but some boys came by and they were able to find us two. It makes me a little nervous to have them in the house but seeing how happy Reese is about it makes it okay.
Definitely a memorable weekend!
