Yesterday we visited Neosho Fall Festival. Neosho is only a 15 min drive from us and it's a typical small town in USA. It is very common that the old downtown areas are a little "ghosty" in many towns mainly because the big changes that came with the idea to build shopping centers and bigger stores outside the central areas...I've said it before, it is such a waste of beautiful buildings and charming squares to not use them to full potential...BUT in Neosho the chamber of commerce is really making an effort and working on getting the square more attractive again. Yesterday the square was surely a vivid and entertaining place to be. There were all kinds of crafts, vendors, foods, live music and performances. The kids had plenty of things to do! We also had the first frozen morning so when the sun started to warm it up again we had clear blue sky and crisp air!
Jared had to work but me and the girls met Natalies classmate Harper and her parents Christi and David Sims. They both grew up in the area, Christi studied psychology and David just started his own law firm. So Christi is one of the Moms that helps me feel welcome here! The girls had a lot of fun and played until Jamie was so tired so it was time to leave... It is very interesting and it also feels important for me to try to find new friends in the area. Already now I can say it helps alot to meet many parents from Natalies school, so once again I am truly happy that we found that school and was able to get a place for Natalie!
Here are a few pictures from today...
