Johnny Appleseed

I made Michael take a picture of me with this gourd that looked like a duck.

We went to the Johnny Appleseed festival in Ft. Wayne with our friends, Brandon and Amanda. I always find myself wanting to buy the kids' toys -- not for a kid, mind you. For myself. I really wanted a bow and arrow set and a pirate sword made out of wood. I ended up buying a $5 alligator that I named Bart. I'm sure he'll make an appearance later, but I'm saving him for a day I don't have a picture and don't want to resort to Clyde. I feel like taking lots of pictures of a wooden alligator in strange places is the reasonable thing to do. 

Later we went back to the lake and took the pontoon boat out -- happy to say I managed to park the boat without any major accidents, despite the strong wind. 

It was a nice weekend, though I was still tired from my trip and didn't feel overly refreshed when it was over. That's what the next weekend is for, right?
