Every year, we have a tradition of spending a long weekend in the beautiful countryside with our good friends (and Cora's godparents) at a B&B on a working farm. This weekend is also the "Pecan Festival" for the town, which we really enjoy. It was a special little vaca because it was the first time getting to take the wee little one, and she loved it!
The countryside was, as always, so relaxing. It was warm with cool breezes (as you can see from the photo above) and the milky way and all the millions of stars were *breathtaking*. Jonathan got to herd the cattle with Matt (a friend and farmer of the estate) which was fun. We dined out, and ate plenty of sweets at Katilynn's (Matt's daughter and owner of the deli and ice cream shop) and simply enjoyed all the quaint festivities of the small town.
Of course we took advantage of the photo op in front of the worlds largest pecan just for kicks and giggles. Oh and we may have entered Cora into the cutest baby contest. (What?!?) The real surprise is that she didn't win!! How is THAT possible? We think the judges were biased against big city babies cause she was clearly the cutest baby in town :)
Our other friends we visit while we are there are the Harpers and they set up a face painting booth at the festival (along with selling apples, raw honey, and organic popcorn with brewers yeast) We always love getting to play with their 7 children, they are so incredibly sweet.
We are already looking forward to next year when Cora is a bit older and able to run around in the fields and play more interactively with the other children. However we had such a relaxing time and were so blessed by all our friendships and company there. so until next year, we are back to the sirens and the busy streets, the big city we love and that we call home. Thanks for reading!
