Molasses Festival

The second weekend of October Mimi came to town and on Saturday we went to the Molasses Festival in Granite Falls. This is an annual festival with lots of homemade crafts, freshly made apple juice, freshly made apple butter, and of course molasses. There were also activities for the kids. Here is Maddie using a hand mill to grind corn to make a little craft.

They even had a live camel and they did camel rides later in the afternoon. We did not do this but it was fun to see the camel.

There was also a petting zoo that the kids did not want to do. But they loved the bouncy houses!

There was also a blow up pool filled with dried corn and sand toys for the kids to play with. This was a hit and much more manageable than the huge corn house they played in last year at Hillridge Farms.
Kallie even joined in the fun in the corn!

We also went on a really long hay ride, but did not get a picture of that. And, sadly, I didn't get any pictures of Mom with the kids. We did have a lot of fun on your visit, Mimi!
