Today I went back in time

1864 to be exact.  

It was nice back in time but it really tires you out.

Super Fun Day

Today I woke up to “Super Fun Day.”  James surprised me by taking me to the Ohio State Fair which meant waking up at 6:30 and driving for 2 hours to Columbus.  We did have a super fun day.

I loved taking pictures of the rides, the bright colors with the pretty blue sky in the background.

James re-enacted a story Cory told him about licking a giant salt lick. Then we got our “sexy” on and modeled some sunglasses. They had a nature area there where they had pretty flowers and a butterfly house.  It was really busy in the butterfly house so I couldn’t dilly-dally and take too many pictures, but I did manage to get a few.  Doesn’t this last one look like the butterfly is waiting for permission to take off? They had a logger demonstration and James and I thought, oh that’ll be interesting, but it actually was.  They were really funny.  Here they are doing the log in the water competition, I thought it was a good shot of him falling off.  I’ll have to add some more pictures later.

After we left the fair we went to a restaurant we saw on “Man V. Food.”  Thurman’s Cafe the food was really yummy but the restaurant is teeny-tiny, it was the longest wait to be seated I’ve ever endured.

So that was super fun day, boy am I pooped.

My Brave Little Niece

We went to Lake Farm Park with the kids yesterday and my niece is the bravest little girl I’ve ever seen. She was first in line to milk the cow, and then when Grandma wanted another picture she did it again. I was so impressed with her I milked the cow too, I figured if she can do it so can I. Afterwards we headed to the airport to check out Air Force One. It’s a little weird to know that you are being watched by the secret service through a high powered rifle.

The Deer Park in Pymatuning is pretty cool.

Aren’t they adorable?

My nieces and nephew are the best models a girl could ask for.

 

                      

I still can’t decide if this is cool or gross

But the kids really liked it.  The fish really enjoyed my salt and vinegar potato chips.

       This was a sandwich for the fish.

Sooo…what do you think, cool or gross?  Let me know in the comments.
