we made it back to Paradise Point Sunday afternoon. Got my MTV hooked up and Becky's internet working so we're ready for the next 8 or so days. Cassidy will be showing her cow and calf starting on Wednesday so we figured this would be the best day to take the Twerps to the fair for carnival rides and food. The "Kids", all three of them, got their wristbands and then we browsed a few exhibits before the rides started at noon. They started off on a ride that proved to be their favorite.........a giant arm with 20 seats on the end of it propelled them up, down and around. They tried the ferris wheel (they are in there someplace.....the smaller Twerps weren't visible......then the ocotopus and finally a big swing. I don't know who this kid was; but, I liked his haircut!!
We took time out for corn on the cob, pastrami sandwich and I pigged out on an Irish Sundae (baked potato). Cassidy had to stop for "face painting" and Becky had a peach milk shake while Trace and I waited for Cass. Bumper cars, swings again and then they headed back to their favorite ride.
Round and round several times on it and we took another corncob, sandwich and potato break. As we were leaving we stopped and watched some doggies try to set broad jump records into a big pool of water. One of the mutts made it to a little over 23 feet and I managed to get his picture as he hit the water. According to the announcer they actually have a "Pro Class" for the mutts???? Interesting...........I guess, as some of the mutts came down to compete from British Columbia.
End of day and guess all the "kids" had fun..................Becky hit the hay about 2100 and I haven't heard a peep from her since.
Tomorrow is laundry day......ugh..........not my favorite way to spend a day but you can turn your shorts, socks and t-shirts inside out for just so many days. Bad thing about socks and shorts is that you can only get two days out of them, inside and outside................but t-shirts work great for four days..........inside, outside, forward and backward!
More later................... Becky and Wayne
P.S.............it was another great 72 degree day!!!!
