The weekends report

We are behind a bit on the weekend reports. Two weekends ago we took advantage of our new location in college town USA and hit our first VT sporting event - not football (unfortunately not and don't ask about the two tickets on the 50 yard line we had to pass up because there are three of us....) but cross country! We checked out the local meet, scouted some running trails and cheered the women on to victory.




Last weekend we went to the Taste of Floyd. Yes, we should have guessed from the name it would be LAME, but we were willing to give it a chance. It wasn't worth it. Luckily the country 4-H fair was also going on, so the big hits of the day were Elena's first ride on a school bus (complete with extremly chipper woman singing 'the wheels on the bus'), glueing sunflower seeds onto a paper plate at the kids table, and watching an old engine grind fresh corn meal (which we made tasty corn cakes with the next morning). Next time we won't risk Taste of Floyd. I mean, Floyd is obviously no Roanoke...need I say more....can you believe we used to post about pasteries in Vienna?
