Boat cruise + Toothfairy + Orleans Fall Festival

Friday night Darcy and I went to a vow renewal ceremony on the occasion of friends' ten year wedding anniversary. We were so keen that we were the first to arrive and were told it would be another half hour before we could board so we had to go kill time at a nearby bar. The speeches were super sweet and the couple's kids were total party rockstars. It was quite the party and a neat tribute to mark ongoing love and commitment. Unfortunately I didn't bring a camera so I'm waiting on pictures a friend took.

I found out later that Caleb lost his first tooth Friday. Apparently he didn't notice it fall out until a friend asked him about it on the school bus. He spent Friday night at his dad's where the toothfairy left $6 under his pillow even though there was no tooth (sketchy, right? plus holy inflation!).

This is more what I was going for

Saturday we took all the kids to the first ever Orleans Fall Festival. We walked about 6km which meant managing Caleb whinyness.Solution? Occasionally run! When compared to running walking is easy.

The kid takes maple leaves seriously

She had no idea we would eventually dress her in layers

FREE food at the Garlic King

The King himself proclaimed money is not as important as friends and community

There was also a boy kissing a bird

And a girl talking about reptiles

We bumped into some friends
