A Day at the Fair

Hi Ya'll! I assume all is well with ya! Especially since nobody is commenting. Sniff Sniff pout pout.....

Haha! Just kidding! Well, you are okay right? Are you still reading me? Am I at least a little bit interesting? Can you feel the guilt trip yet?

Alright, on with the post........

Today the hubby and I loaded the kiddos up in the Mini and took a day trip to the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics (shame, shame) but I did learn a few things. And we had quite a bit of fun!

The first on the list was a pony ride for the gal. I shouldn't expect anything different, but it surprises me that she still gets a kick out of horses that just walk in a small circle and are barely moving. Especially since she has the ability to do much more than that on her own horse. Ah well, she has fun, that's what counts! After that we watched a bit of Dressage in the Arena. Is there a purpose for that stuff? I enjoy Rodeos much more than that, and it's not just a horse with a braid making circles in the middle of the Arena. Seems like a waste to me.

I drug the clan into the craft center where they had all the quilted objects and crochet, knit etc..... My jaw dropped at all the amazing Art in there. I was just speechless. The Hubby was even impressed, which should say it all! Most amazing to me was a quilt made with different farm scenes in each block. It won best in show and I voted for it for viewers choice!

We went on some rides too, the gal says she loves roller coasters but when she and I got on one, she freaked out on the first fast part. It was NOT one of the huge rides, just not the kiddie ride. I felt horrible. We had watched it prior to getting on, and she said she wanted to ride it. The poor thing was just petrified. Thankfully it was a short ride and we learned our lesson!

I would like to know why I got nauseous on the carousel though! That has never happened to me before! I held it together, but did laugh at myself! What a weenie!

We tied up the afternoon with an over priced lunch and a stroll through the animal barns. I actually stopped to look at the facts the kids had posted on each cage and I learned quite a bit. The high light was Kielyn petting a 12 day old pig. The gentlemen and I talked and I was able to ask some intelligent "piggly" questions. For some odd reason I think pigs are cute, and would love to raise them one day. Hubby has already put the Kbosh on that though. He says they stink too much and he doesn't like pork. Bummer!

Home again and nap time, it was a scorching hot day out there and we forgot to turn on the AC before we left........

Happy weekend to ya'll!!!
