Saturday Happenings

This past Saturday dawned gray and chilly, but we decided to go ahead and partake of a local event that has grown rather large. 
The 'Field Day of the Past' takes place just outside of Richmond. There is a wide selection of things to see, from historical buildings that once stood in Short Pump, to steam-powered sorghum presses, to tractor pulls, to carnival rides. We wandered around with my parents, occasionally glimpsing other people that we knew. We saw probably most everything, but none of it for a long period of time. 
The corn dogs and funnel cakes were yummy, as was the old-fashioned root beer! Here are some pictures from the time:

Gracie loved the ferris wheel!



Cora wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry, but mostly she laughed!
