the fair!

last week, the fair was in town! i am lovin me some fair! it reminds me of waaaaay back in the old days when i was a little girl! ha! at the fair i used to attend, you had to walk through the "fair barn" to get to the rides. that meant you had to suffer through looking at jars of homemade jelly, homemade quilts, tractor exhibits, and the occasional prize calf before you even got to climb into the Tilt-A-Whirl! and remember those ugly little metal necklaces you got when you threw darts and popped a balloon? that cheapo thing ended up costing about $20! i always got the 2-piece broken heart one...i kept one side and gave the other piece to my best friend. at least the best friend for that week!!


fortunately, my 2 boys are more into the kid rides and the food than playing those horrible games. my parents, poppy & mimi, went with us and we all had such a great time! they bought armbands for blake and brady so they could ride as many rides as they wanted....as many times as they wanted! gee, thanks. we haven't been up that late on a school night in a while!
hope you enjoyed the fair as much as we did! see ya there next year!

I'm glad yall had a blast at the fair. The challenges I do are listed on someone else's blog. For example, Libby shows a picture of her daughter Courtney in a new outfit, then makes a card from it. She started doing that because so many of her outfits would make her say she wished she had scrapbook paper that looked like the outfit.
