~The County Fair and Sickies~

Friday started the 10 day run of our county fair.

Let me tell you...

I love the fair.

 

I love it for many reasons.

For the animals... 4 years in FFA does that to you.

For the smells... of all kinds!

For the food... who doesn't love the corn dogs and funnel cakes.

And of course, the Wranglers.

But that's for another time :)

 

Last night the kids and I... along with two of my best girlfriends... went to the fair.

One of our main reasons going was to see our ag-teacher from High School.  We love this lady, like no other teacher... and she of course, loves us too... being that she came to my wedding and my friend's wedding, to baby showers and get togethers, I'd have to say that was true :)

 

We also went to let Rowan and Zachary see all of the animals.

This was the second time Ro has been to the fair... last year, Zach was too small to go, so we didn't.

Let me tell you, they both enjoyed it!

I think at first, Zachary was a bit overwhelmed by the animals and people there...

But once he saw the cows (my son is obsessed with cows!!) he started squealing and moo'ing like a mad man!

He also enjoyed the sheep, chickens and the horses...

 

I was a bit upset though... as to the fact that I didn't have my camera during any point of this...

I had let Derek take it to work- he is obsessed with taking pics at work- and he hadn't brought it home.  Not his fault though.  He didn't know we were going to the fair... Oh well.

 

I did happen to catch Rowan on her very FIRST carnival ride with my camera phone.  I would post it here... but the picture is of poor quality and for some reason, my phone isn't sending pics to any email address that I've sent them too?

Let me tell you though...

Those "carnies" there... scare the Crapola out of me... I didn't even want to let Ro on the ride... but her "Aunties" gave me so much crap for not wanting her on them ("we survived the rides when we were younger... she will too!") I ended up letting her ride two rides.

I was glad I did too.

She had a blast and I enjoyed seeing her have a good time!

 

So, the fair was fun.

I miss showing my animals and partaking in all the events down there... although, it was hard work... those years showing were some of the best times of my life!

 

 

On to the sickies.

My dear husband came home sick from work last night.

He was working 7pm-6am and ended up home at 1230am with a 100. degree fever.

His body ached and he had no energy at all.

Poor boy.

He is so stubborn though... cause he is going to work tonight :x

I wish he'd stay home and just rest...

But he hates calling in sick.

I just hope he can make it through his 11 hour shift.

 

Okay, I'm done with my Jenny Craig lunch (Tuna Salad Kit... it was yummy!) and my salad....

Gotta get my booty back to working now!

Have a great Hump Day all!
