Fair, Food and Firsts






Sunday we went to the Fair. We all love the fair and was there ALL day. We started out with the Pavilion to see my Mom's quilt. This is the first time that she has ever enter a quilt in any show. We walked upstairs to find it and discovered that she won 1st place and best in her category!!! She was absolutely elated! Congratulations Mom, you quilt queen!!!!!!! It was so fun to see and was a great way to start out the day.


The rest of the day was spent eating and eating, oh and did I mention eating? Yes we are all bad fair food junkies and between the 7 of us (Me, Tom, Makayla, Dylan, My Mom, Ray, and Kerri) we managed to consume: Scones, corn dog, hot dogs, nachos, soft serve ice cream, strawberry shortcake, corn on the cob, a cow-drop cookie, large batch of curly fries, hamburger, Carmel apples, cotton candy, rainbow suckers, chicken burger (I'm sure there is more but I don't dare continue)! We looked at quite a bit of the animals, went to the petting farm, the kids got their faces painted and we let the kids go on 2 rides each, just enough to be in the mood for dizzy passes on another day. We also looked around at all the fabulous gadgets to buy. We managed to buy a few and headed home all beat and ready for bed. Here's to another great year at the Fair!
