Herbstfest 2009

Despite the looming threat of rain, this year’s Herbstfest emerged as an enjoyable experience for everyone, at least in the Smith family. In fact, I’d venture to say even Erik had a smidgen of fun himself. Per tradition (which—as many know—Ava and I hold very dear), we ate food and Ava bounced on Friday night. Hudson made his first Herbstfest appearance, smiling, schmoozing, and otherwise being adorable. Then on Saturday Ava and I returned with my parents for more food, more bouncing, park play, and the now-famous purchasing of pumpkins. Finally, on Sunday, Ava and I attended the parade with the usual gang of friends and family.

What a fest! What a time! Here are some additional photos to commemorate our memories:

Bouncing confidently this year!
