valarltdSo we went to the MidSouth Fair
Whee!
I bought a Fun Pack, which was $25, and gave us 6 admissions, $10 in ride money, a free turkey leg with purchase of 4, and a free cotton candy with puchase of 3.
(Saved us about $15 all told, and I sold 2 of the admissions for $5 to a couple coming in)
We went and ate first. The Turkey legs were done with a spicy dry rub and just really good. But they were too much, so we picked the meat off, rolled it in foil and took it along. When the boys were hungry half an hour later, I had food.
Then we rode the Tilt-a-whirl. Dollface was unimpressed. She fussed though the whole thing, all scared. The kids threw darts at Spongebob, and each got a stuffed smiley face (it was worth the $1.25 each. they're all very pleased)
We wandered the midway.
We checked out the craft exhibits. Bunny squeed over the quilts, and we all had to see Fairy's cake. She did a really nifty castle.
We had old-time pictures made. I'll put them up after i get them scanned. I look quite the matriarch. Jonner's the one holding a rifle in the pic. yyeah, just the kid I want to give a firearm to...
We got cotton candy
We caught part of a Loretta Lynn concert. The lady is failing in health and her pipes are going. She tried, but she didn't sound good.
We hit Merlin's Cave, which was a science exhibit. Nail wall, Bernouilli stream, touch boxes, light harp. Bubble cauldrons. Lots of fun.
We saw the baby chicks in the ag building.
And I bought pop at CBU where it was $1/bottle and 60c/can as opposed to $2.50/bottle
All the fun we could stand.
The kids also informed me of Halloween costume choices:
Bunny wants to be a carrot.
Obi wants to be a skeletal warrior
Jonner wants to be a Wiggle (the yellow one)
Dollface wants to be a fairy
I can do that!
And now a bath and bed!
