Lets Go Fly a Kite

Tonight felt like fall. It was overcast a little windy and in the high 60s. I loved it! Fall is my most favorite season. For many reasons, but mostly I think because it reminds me of my dad. So it was nice to spend the night with my mom and my brother and our kids

Before Jarod and the girls got here, we decided to try out the old kite. We had a little trouble keeping the kite up in the air, but we got it up a few times. The little boy across the street had his kite up the entire time, so I cant even blame it on the wind. Oh well. We had fun anyway!

Once Jarod and the girls got here we started a bon fire in the backyard. We got to site around it and roast marshmellows for about 20 minutes before the clouds opened up. We did not get too wet and we got through most of the bag of marshmellows. It was short, but fun. And there is always tomorrow night. Hopefully it does not rain.

Tomorrow we are going to the Piqua Heritage Festival. Usually it is so miserably hot on Labor Day weekend that we cannot enjoy ourselves there. We are hoping for a few dry hours. The festival is really neat. They have a primitive camp site, great food, craft booths, petting zoo, pony rides and some reinactments. Piqua is a Native American Historical area. It is really neat to experience some of its heritage. The festival is at Johnson Farm. General Johnson worked with the Native Americans and the government he also was one of the founding members of the canal. If your interested check out this website http://www.piquaoh.org/ If you go to the farm you can tour the house, go through a museum and even take a ride on a horse pulled canal boat.

I hope this fall like weather will stick around a while, but knowing Ohio weather next week will probably be back up in the 90s. I plan on enjoying it while it lasts. I just wish we would have planned a camping trip. I always have these crazy ideas about moving away somewhere far, like Australia, out West or the East Coast. But Ohio in the fall is the best, it is one of things that keeps me put.
