Italian Festival and Nebraska Game

We have had a rough week with teething and reactions to her immunizations. Lorelei seems to still be having trouble with this as she woke up with a fever again this morning. The molars seem to be giving her a lot to complain about. Hopefully it will settle down soon.

Sept starts a couple of months of busy weekends for us! There are lots of local events going on in the area and we plan to enjoy them! We went to the Italian Festival for lunch on Saturday. We enjoyed live music (the violinist...who did a beautiful job but I was a bit disappointed as I thought we were going to hear accordion players!) as well as some Italian food. We thought they were a bit overpriced, so if we go again next year we will just get some pizza. Lorelei had gotten a long nap this morning, but still had little patience for anything, so we didn't get to enjoy our food for very long.



We had to stop by the grape stomping vat on the way out though. Brad was a trooper and went in with Lorelei. There was a little girl in there before her who seemed to enjoy it...as you can see this did not go over well at all. At least we tried! :)



Then Lorelei proceeded to scream the entire walk to the car. After all of this, we ended up getting ripped off from the guy in the parking lot who we paid $7 and he was only charging $5 an hour later! Let's just say it was a bit of a frustrating experience but we are still glad we went.

Then after a nice afternoon nap, we were able to watch the Husker game! We rarely get a chance to watch Nebraska play here on the east coast. We had our one fellow Nebraskan, Mirinda, over to watch the game with us. Thankfully it was another person to help entertain Lorelei! Unfortunately the game didn't end the way we would have liked, but we enjoyed watching it.



Thought you might like to see the little trick we taught Lorelei to do. We stole this idea from the Checks...maybe we'll get the girls to do it at the same time for the next video. ;)
