mint festival

Saturday morning, the boys and I set out bright and early for Yami's house, and then we headed down the highway to Wanatah, a small town that was hosting town-wide garage sales. We did very well, scoring tables, chairs, toys, a tv for my brother, and various other stuff. After a couple of hours worth of yard sales, though, the boys were pretty pooped, so I stayed out in the car with them during the next leg of the trip, in which my mom visited a new fabric store in Winamac.


After that, we headed to scenic North Judson for the Mint Festival. There was no actual mint to be found in the downtown area, but we did enjoy a nice lunch of carnival food, and then a couple of rides in the surprisingly big kiddie section. We intended to stay longer, but it was really hot and the boys were getting cranky. Then Max had a blowout, so we decided to call it a day. They did ride on a train, and Liam went in a bouncy house. We also saw firefighters playing waterball, which was not as exciting as you might think for the boys. It was a very full day.
