The Syrup Festival

I have been a terrible blogger this fall, so I am trying to catch up on events that I have missed posting. Back in mid-November we traveled to East Texas to see my dad's side of the family. It happed to coincide with the Sugarcane Syrup Festival. This is a very big event in the small town of Henderson! In addition to our family, Mimi and Papa brought Anna Jane and Ally to join in the fun. Bo, Mandy and Abby came in from Dallas for the excitement! It was a packed weekend of cousin fun and lots of fried food!

Anna Jane is a GREAT help with Emerson!

It was a zoo trying to navigate through the crowds with so many little ones.

Papa, Emmy, Mimi and Anna Jane enjoying the hay ride.

Charlie caught a ride on daddy's shoulders.

Mommy and her sweet angel boy

Aunt Mando was kind enough to take one for the team and escort the little ones on a train ride.

Charlie's favorite part of the whole weekend - a giant, super fast SHARK slide.

Emmy and Abby preferred sitting on the side and bouncing.

ROCK STAR BABY - never fussed the whole day!

Charlie and Mimi fought over the funnel cake...

and Mandy took down a corn dog like it was her job! ;)

The best part of the weekend was visiting with Aunt Ebby

Three generations of Bain girls!
