I have loved the month of September for as long as I can possibly remember because it is always the month of the County Fair. I would look forward to going to the fair for months before it actually arrived. I loved to walk through all the exhibits and see all of the produce, crafts, goodies, photography, and art people had entered and of course I loved getting to chat with everyone and going on rides. As a teenager and adult I have loved it because it marks the beginning of Fall for me. It seems like nights start to get a little colder, the air is a little bit more crisp, the evenings start to slowly come sooner and the sun takes just a little bit longer to rise each morning. Our County Fair was this last weekend and we enjoyed every bit of it, from the huge pile of cheesy fries to the caramel apples to the deep fried Oreos. It was all pretty much AMAZING!!!! Darrell and Tad wanted to put something in the fair this year so they got Lego sets for their birthdays and put them together as fast as they could and then put them on the shelf for safe keeping. For Darrell he has been waiting since July 27th and it has been killing him to not get it down and play with it. I entered a loaf of my banana bread (which got 3rd place) and a loaf of whole wheat bread.
Tad came home with a 3rd place ribbon for his Lego Movie Robot he made! He was so so so proud!
Darrell came home with a 1st place ribbon for his millennium Falcon! You would have thought he had won a million bucks!
I have a good friend in town that is an AMAZING artist and the fair committee had asked her to make all of these awesome picture boards to take your pictures in and signs to go above the doors of each exhibit and little signs all over the place just to make it look and feel nicer and she did an amazing job on them!!! Way to go Liz!
I had to take a picture of each boy in the mans face because they both refused to be the old lady.
It was stormy all three days but it made for the most beautiful skies!!!
Darrell somehow talked Joe into riding the zipper with him. This I was very nervous about. Last year the boys talked Joe and I into riding on the Gravitron with them and both of us came out ready to puke our toes up so all I could imagine was vomit flying from the squirrel cage and my poor child coming out covered. But they both had a blast and nobody got sick. I was proud of Joe for going through with it! All in all we had a really fun weekend! I am so proud of my boys, way to go you crazy beasts!!!
NOW LET IT BE FALL!!!!
