Fall-ing

A couple of weekends ago we travelled about 45 minutes west to the quaint town of St. Charles. The river town holds its Scarecrow Festival every fall. Along with the essential craft fairs, carney rides, and nascar simulator, a block-wide park is turned into a scarecrow showcase to through which to wander. For prizes, local groups and businesses enter scarecrows dressed up as everything under the sun including the ubiquitous Jonas Brothers. Even out here Mommy can't escape them.  The most meta was the scarecrow dressed at the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.

Collin didn't have much interest in the straw people, but he loved dancing in the music tent. The crowd was a bit much for us so we headed south and visited Geneva, another cute town along the Fox River.

This past Sunday we went northwest to a farm/park to go on a hayride with our friends the DeMarcos.  Collins hat is compliments of Great Aunt MJ.
