Apple Festivals & Pork Suppers

Today was definately a day spent enjoying the beautiful Iowa Fall weather (granted Fall doesn't officially begin until Monday). This morning mom had to go into church to help set up for communion, since September is her month to serve on Altar/Chancel Guild. Meanwhile, back at home, dad and Clark started working on our porch. We have a new door to put in but of course once starting a remodeling project you realize that you should fix it right. So, we measured for drywall and tile and will work on this project over the next few weeks. Clark had a great time rummaging through dad's toolbox and "helping."
After lunch we headed out to the ISU Horticulture Research Farm where the ISU Hort Club was selling apples and cider and giving various demonstrations. We took the farm tour and Clark had fun riding on the wagon and looking at all the different trees and plants. There was another girl about his age sitting across from him and they kept each other entertained. After taste testing some apples we headed home for a nap.

After nap we went into Gilbert to the 35th Annual Gilbert Lutheran Church Pork Feed. So much food! We are still not sure where Clark manages to put everything he eats. He really enjoyed the baked beans and the pork. He even tried some coleslaw.
