Vincennes Rendezvous

Saturday we spent the afternoon in Vincennes, IN at their 34th annual Rendezvous. It was much bigger than we expected and we could have spent the entire day touring late 18th century buildings, wtaching battle reenactments, and perusing hundreds of vendors tents filled to the brim with amazing replicas and authentic looking merchandise. We did spend a few hours, and thouroughly enjoyed the experience. I'm putting it on our calendar for next year! The battle was interesting, but we kept our distance due to the noise. Rebecca enjoyed her new 'umbrella', Aaron bought a burning glass with which he can now catch all sorts of things on fire, and I came home with a great piece of authentic looking textile work. (I could have decorated the whole house in just that one tent!) The reenactors costumes were amazing as well! I was thrilled with the whole thing. As usual here are some pics from our adventure....I'm very addicted to the camera. ;-)

Introducing.... Norman & Humphrey

We've been reading about goldfish lately and so we are now owners of pet fish! Rebecca has wanted a cat really badly as well as a giraffe, both of which are impossible for us. We aren't sold on the idea of a puppy so this was the next best thing.

We were out at the ball game!


This month for Aaron's 'date of the month' we ventured out to the Otters baseball game in Evansville. We all had a great time, complete with Cracker Jacks and songs! Rebecca's first time at eleven months old didn't go over very well, but this evening she was totally enthralled! Aaron and I  were actually ready to leave before she was. She was paying very close attention to the game as well, noting when the players missed the ball. LOL Afterwards we took our tickets to G.D. Ritzy's for some ice cream. I think we'll be going back again this season..... and soon!
