Corn Festival!

Corn Festival has come and gone.  I was there September 25 and 26.  As always it never fails to deliver.  The petting zoo was great.  What could be better than being 23, married, hanging out in the petting zoo with old friends?

 

 Check out these animals!  We have a punk rock chicken in the upper left, a 'fro-wearing duck, a rabbit, and the coolest cow ever.

Now that I live on the North Shore of Chicago it's hard to remember my roots.  Growing up in a town where you have to learn about SMV's in driver's ed is a completely different experience from the North Shore.  For those of you less informed, SMV's are Slow-Moving Vehicles, things like this awesome tractor to the right and combines.  Hanging with me on the tractor are two of my great friends and groomsmen, Jason and Mike.

Take some time and ponder the beauty that is Morris, Illinois.  Sorry I don't have more pictures for you.  Maybe next year I'll have more.  I'll get some of the corn fields along the country roads.  Nothing feels more like home than driving between huge rows of corn on the country road.
