This is part two of our fair fun. The Archery club has a building set
up to try out. The kids had a blast shooting the deer and turkeys.
Even my sister-in-law got in the fun!
Our county fair is this weekend. We took a trip out there with some family.
Baby E
Big blue eyes!
Brothers!
We got to see a glass blowing demonstration. It was amazing how fast he was able to make something so intricate. It was pretty cool!
I love this pic of him!
Petting the cows
Look at all the bunnies!!
This just looked like a photo that needed to be in black and white.
We saw horses from the teeny tiny ones to the giant ones!
E was really fascinated with the horses.
I took a ton of pics at the fair... so I'll put the next batch in another post. Sorry for the folks receiving this via email if I bogged down your computer with so many pics :)
This weekend I went out to my aunts lake house to celebrate my Aunt Faith's 50th birthday.
The sisters and their daughters got together for a weekend of fun and relaxation.
We had such a blast. On Saturday we did a scavenger hunt and some letter-boxing. I've only done geocaching before so it was fun to try this type of treasure hunting. We were supposed to take a boat ride on Saturday in my aunt's pontoon boat. My Aunt Carol and cousin, Sandy, went down and took the cover off the boat and cleared off all the spider webs and spiders so we could go. Unfortunately when they went to start it they found out the battery was dead. They put a charger on it in hopes that we could take the ride later in the day. The boat didn't actually end up starting until the next morning. It had rained and stormed the night before, so we took some towels down and headed out. It was a beautiful morning and we snapped a few lovely photos on our way.
My three aunts and one cousin did not go on the ride, so only six of us were on the boat. Thank God! Because what happened next was crazy!! As we were driving, we noticed a bunch of spiders on the front of the boat.
Since we were moving, the front of the boat became windy and wet. Those spiders decided they didn't want to be up there anymore. They all started crawling IN for safety..... right into the seating area.
We started freaking out. Using our flip-flops to kill and smash them as they came, we were able to keep it under control for a little while. Then it started getting worse and bigger spiders were coming out of everywhere.... the seats, the sides of the boat, the floor. It quickly turned into a Nightmare Cruise!!! It was funny and freaky all at the same time!!!! Finally, we were all standing except my mom. None of us wanted to sit down.
Even when we passed the Lake Patrol, we inched down on the edge of the seats and table in the middle for the few minutes until we got passed him. We decided to capture the craziness on video. We were SO glad to be back to the dock!!!
