### Harvest Hurrah

Saturday was the 2nd Annual Harvest Hurrah here in the great city of Spanish Fork. It was, of course, held at "our" park, and, contrary to forecasts, the weather could not have been better. It was delightful during the daytime, crisp at dusk, and cold at night. There were pony rides (incredibly long lines, we declined), "bobbing" for apples (with a blindfold and a ladle), music games (Ezra won a train whistle at a cake-walk-type thing), a little hay maze for the kids (definitely the favorite with my kiddos), hay rides around the block with live fiddle music (Ezra and Mercy loved this so much, Ezra threw a temper tantrum when we had to get off), free dinner (long lines, we had our own dinner across the street in our cozy house), a melodrama (didn't get to see it), and live local bands and dancing in the evening.
When Telima saw them setting up for the event on Friday, she remarked that Spanish Fork does so many cool things, it reminded her of Stars Hollow (Star Hollow? Anyway, that town that the Gilmore Girls takes place in). I've only seen one full episode of that show, so I don't know, but I do know that I love this town! What a great place to live, especially when the kids are at the age to enjoy it.
