2013 Maple Leaf Festival ~

One of the best parts of living in the midwest is experiencing all of the seasons. My favorite season just happens to be the Fall when we see all of the trees turn to beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow. In my town, that typically happens during the third full week of October - and that is when my town puts itself on the map. On Maple Leaf Festival weekend we go from a town with 3,500 people to a town of about 35,000 people - which is just craziness! Although most of the people who are from Baldwin end up leaving all of the madness, we manage to embrace it and celebrate.

This year, we took in the parade...the carnival games...the booths...the rides... here's a peak at one of the biggest events of the weekend - she tackled the big slide all...by...herself :)....
She also rode the strawberry spin with daddy...
Luckily our home is within walking distance from the festival....
One of the best parts is getting to spend time with friends and family...
One of the worst parts is getting swindled by the carneys...anything to make this girl smile :)
My favorite part is spending time with my family...
  and making memories - love them!

Happy Fall, everyone!!!
