A (Sweaty) Day at the Fair!

On Friday I took the kids to the fair for a bit even though it was just SO dang hot. We were sweating a LOT (so NOT attractive) but we were able to check everything out & I ate lots of ice. ☺ We ran into one of Calob's friends, Alex, who said he was getting ready to go to the dunk tank & he wanted Calob to come "try" to dunk him. Oh, if only he knew! HA Calob actually dunked him twice!!!

This is Alex going down the 2nd time Calob dunked him!

So, when I left the fair w/the kids I went to get my van only to see that I was blocked in. Oh yes, just lovely huh? Well, Gord & Sharon were nice enough to wait with me until Terence could come to get me & the kids. While we waited Gord decided it would be a good idea to try to move the truck. Notice I'm not helping?!? Yeah, I know, that's a BIG surprise! HA ... I was the official picture taker.

Sharon in all her "bootylicious" glory ... and I ♥ the look on Gord's face!!!

I signed up to work the P.T.A. food booth for the 7-11 p.m. shift to raise money for D.I. We are NOT going to be getting funding as we have other years & are now responsible for funding pretty much everything every step of the way. Working the booth was a good opportunity to raise money. I really had NO idea what I was getting myself into. Wow, it was SO busy for at least the first 90 minutes that I couldn't even get a drink. There I was, taking orders in the blazing sun, dripping with sweat and TRYING oh so hard to be nice. I was very much out of my element. Oh well, I made it through & eventually even had a good time. Granted, that was once the shift was almost done & the customers stopped coming, but still. ☺

Fun at the Fair!!!

The fair has come & gone ... whew! It was a long week. We started on Monday with the Demolition Derby ... so fantastic! Then on Wednesday it was time for the kids to go on the rides. This is the first year I let Calob go by himself, with his friends of course, and while it was a bit nerve-wracking for me, I know he enjoyed it. He, Archer & Henry spent the day hanging out, eating & going on rides. We hooked up with Sharon & her girls (Emily & Katie) and Callie went on rides with them. All in all it was a great time but a VERY long day. I went back on Friday with my mom but only for a couple of hours ... thank goodness. The pictures I'm posting are all from Wednesday, ride day. Enjoy!
