Three River's Festival

The Three River's Festival is Fort Wayne's big summer festival. It lasts for 8 days and provides a prime opportunity for people-watching and fried-food gluttony, and of course, midway rides and games. It's kind of like a county fair without the livestock. I've posted some pictures and video from our visit on Sunday...

Our favorite part of the festival is definitely the 'Chalk Walk'. Anybody can sign up, first-come, first serve, for a 4' X 4' or 8' X 8' square which they can chalk (pastel) however they please.
I was actually signed up for one this year, but had to bow at at the last minute to attend a funeral. I've posted some of our favorites...

Starved Rock State Park

Once or twice a year my parents meet us roughly half way between our respective homes in Iowa and Indiana. That place is Starved Rock State Park in Uttica, Illinois.
Please scroll down to see some snapshots from our trip there last weekend...

Can you find Laura and Logan?

Beautiful Laura

Cajun Ron and his kitchen crew doing what they do best. Besides the fact that Uttica, Illinois is roughly halfway between my parents and ourselves, the real reason we go there is the Cajun Connection cajun restaurant. This is the real deal folks. The restaurant is built inside of an old farmhouse. It is slightly surreal eating there primarily because of the location . One doesn't really expect to find an authentic cajun restaurant in the middle of an Illinois cornfield. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is 100% Louisiana.

A Visit to the Punkin Patch

This was a huge paper mache monster that told a story. Turn up the volume for the payoff.

Turn up the volume to hear Bella snoring...

I Bet I Can Climb That Tree With One Hand

So yeah. He broke his wrist. Both bones, but he will be fine. 6 weeks in the cast and he will be good as new. We will try to keep him out of the trees until then.

Shoaff Park Disc Golf Course

We snuck up on this guy at Shoaff Park. You would think the grass would be a bit softer than his rooftop. I don't know if you can make it out in the photo, but his back window says "Call Me" with a phone number.
