Harvest Home Festival

Posted on September 29, 2008

Cause WOW, we have really turned into dorks.

So, part of the charm of living in New Jersey is the combination of urban and rural experiences.  However, if you would have told me 3 years ago that I would be standing in a river of mud digging up my own potatoes (okay, so Simon and Hannah dug up the potatoes, but I held the bag!  Wait, maybe John held the bag.) or watching a flea circus, I would probably have rolled my eyes and made some snarky comment.

And yet, here we are…participating in yet another ritual for the sake of the child.  And, what’s worse, I enjoyed it.  (What’s that?  I couldn’t hear you.)  OKAY, I ENJOYED IT DAMMIT, NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!

Especially the flea circus, that was my favorite part.  And before you ask, YES, I know they weren’t real fleas.  Seriously! Visit the gallery for more pix.
