Brat Fest 2013

For the third year in a row, we attended Brat Fest, adding a child with each visit.

It was a cool 55 degrees. Perfect for us!

You’re looking at the world’s largest brat being grilled by a couple dozen volunteers.

It was over 54′ long. And that’s a  54′ bun next to it.

For $4, you could buy 6″ of this 54′ brat, with all the money going to help the victims of the Oklahoma tornado. All other brat sales go to local charities.

And some people even bring their birds to the festival and push them around in a stroller. Recently Updated227We’re big fans of the grilled corn, which is dipped in a vat of melted butter!

And Bridgette, well, she is full of funny faces lately. She’s so expressive and energetic. I get my exercise chasing her.

August, well, he’s doing great too.

We had a great time with friends and will miss this event!

It was a lovely day:

 Rick and Bridgette brought me home lavender tulips on Saturday night and made me french toast Sunday morning.

And well, we can’t go anywhere/do anything without one of Bridgette’s baby dolls! Recently Updated213

Recently Updated212We love this home made play dough recipe!

3 cups flour
1.5 cups salt
2 T. cream of tarter
3 T. oil
3 cups water

Pour all ingredients into a medium pot. Stir constantly over medium heat until a dough ball forms by pulling away from the sides.

Knead dough until the texture matches play dough (1-2 minutes). Store in plastic container. Should last for at least 3 months.

We added food coloring and essential oils. It feels like the real thing!
