first days of autumn

bourbon festival

Now, now before you get cranky with me about bringing the kids, they had a fantastic play area that we had to drag the kids away from crying (granted, they bounced and slid themselves into exhaustion).

Plus, they ate some pancakes with (bourbon) butter and (bourbon) syrup.

They even rode a 'Wild Turkey',

and were educated in the art of barrel making.

Now, it wasn't all for the kids,
as I drank a lovely 1792 on the rocks, but I think we can fairly call this a family day.

"so sweet you can almost see the sugary footprints"

That was a phrase my friend Milli used to describe her (adorable) daughter. I think it applies here too.
