The last weekend of September we made our way up to the Fall Festival in Pinetop. I have, for the last seven years, wanted Aaron to come up for the car show. It has never worked out for one reason or another, but this year we got to go! It was a good little get-a-way before Aaron started working nights for the outage.
We went to the parade, got a spot right at the start, got some candy, and were out of there in about an hour. That is my kind of parade.
It's fun to have cousins up in the mountains now. It is an added bonus for sure.
We finally made it to the car show, and I think Aaron was pleased with the showing. We spent the rest of the weekend just hanging out and eating good food. We also got to see a lunar eclipse. My kids weren't much impressed, but it was still fun to stand out in the street with my parent's neighbors watching the moon.
We did make it up the cabin to see Grandma Rena, (who since we see all the time, I don't think to take pictures of! and I need to!) and we finally got our family picture on the step. Too bad the sun was at the worst angle, but we did it!
Aaron likes to go home though Globe. Most of the time we stop to get El Rey. But this time we stopped to stretch our legs and walk around Miami instead. I always wonder what it would be like if it had never tanked and lost all of its money. The old buildings and streets are quite neat. Our kids are good little travelers, but sometimes it's just fun to get out of the car and explore a bit.
We had a good weekend, and hopefully, it won't be another seven years before we get to up to the Fall Festival as a family again.
