I had several second thoughts with the H1N1 around, but the food cravings and a day with the family at the fair won out! Mitchell and Maria were very well behaved and had a great time! Maria had Mini Donuts and Mitchell chose fresh fruit--what the heck?! I told him Grandma would be very proud that he picked such a nutritious treat! He also had a pronto pup, or "corndog on a stick" that he ordered. And after not wanting anything else he ate most of my Dole Whip cool treat! Maria watched a lot of people and gave them smiles. She liked the horses--one cow almost laid a cow pie right on Chuck! We spent some time on the kiddy rides - people kept giving me their extra tickets, so we had enough for both kids to go on one more ride! We also went through the John Deere farmer's market so the kids could get their JD visors. We got to see a couple larger than life Backyardigan Characters (Uniqua and Pablo). Mitchell was amazed at the crowd...he wanted me to lift him up to see everybody down the street! We drank lots of water and used lots of wipes!
Today is our family picnic at the Sigmeths. It is my signal that the summer is over--every year on Labor Day weekend we all gather for a last hr-rah. We usually bid farewell with, "See you at Christmas!"
