<\/a><\/p>\nOn our way to breakfast at Toast Saturday morning, we stopped by the Davidson Farmers Market. The delicious smells coming from that direction were too enticing to ignore. It turns out they were having a chef cook-off between several local restaurants and catering companies.<\/p>\n
I perused the menu at Fork, a new farm-to-fork restaurant in Cornelius and put it at the top of my must-visit list.<\/p>\n
We arrived at Toast famished.<\/p>\n
By the time I got my camera out, my breakfast had been disassembled by a hungry toddler.<\/p>\n With full bellies, we ventured out to the Renaissance Festival!<\/p>\n It\u2019s been years since I\u2019ve been to one and forgot how much fun it is. Between the people in costume, the games and the food. It\u2019s quite the experience!<\/p>\n Hailey was in love with the petting zoo and kept insisting on \u2018More An-mals!\u201d<\/p>\n I took notes on pretty ways to display herbs and spices.<\/p>\n We pushed well past nap time, but had a ball.<\/p>\n We spent the afternoon kicked back and watched Georgia start strong, then barely squeak by with the WIN against Florida. Three years in a row- whoop!<\/p>\n Sunday I was set on seeing leaves.<\/p>\n We took a family hike (Koda too!) at Lake Norman State Park. I\u2019m constantly impressed with Hailey\u2019s increasing ability to keep up. We didn\u2019t break any speed records, but she hiked nearly the whole time and loved it. I loved the fresh air, family and the view.<\/p>\n It\u2019s fall, y\u2019all.<\/p>\n Sunday afternoon filled up with meal planning and epic toddler meltdowns in Target<\/span> grocery shopping.
