I decided to be a brave mom and took Arden to Mum Fest on Saturday. It's a festival held in downtown New Bern every year. We went there right after Arden's 3-hour nap. I wasn't sure if I was going to find a parking space, but I managed to drive into the Tryon Palace lot just as a car was leaving. I was so lucky! It was really hot. I'm not a fan of large crowds and hot weather. We headed over to the pumpkin patch, which was nice and shady. I got lots of cute pics of Arden there! Her little dress matched perfectly. I couldn't get her to look at the camera at all, though. She was so distracted. In the end, I got her a cute little pumpkin. After the patch, we made our way to the waterfront. It started sprinkling, and we found shelter under a gas station's canopy. The rain didn't last too long, and it cooled things off nicely. I was so thankful for that. We headed to Union Point Park and waited for the trampoline show to begin. It started raining again, so we sought shelter under a tree. The show started late due to the rain. It was a pretty cool show. Afterwards, I headed down the street to see what all the vendors were selling. There were some pretty cool things. This asian couple was painting names using different characters...like an S was a dolphin. It was only $15 for a name up to 8 letters, and I was so tempted to get one for Arden. I didn't, though. I kind of wish I had! There was this other vendor selling all kinds of bags, totes, and purses. They were really inexpensive, but I decided against that also. I do not need to be spending money right now. I'm pretty proud of myself. I spent $.75 on Arden's pumpkin, and $.50 on a small Pepsi. Go me! By this point, Arden was beyond done. We headed to the car, and she fell asleep on the way home.
