Happy Memorial Day!

Hello all,
First and foremost I have to apologize for my lack of activity over the last months. Life took over and here I am so long without posting. We are all well, busy as usual and ready to share some more stories with you.
Happy Memorial Day to you all, I hope that you have all been able to celebrate all the many men and women who have given so much to our country with friends and fun. As for the three of us, we have enjoyed birthday parties, friends, BBQ, and our local fair!

Since the weather has been...let's just say not the most cooperative for planting season, my husband was able to take the afternoon off and join us for some good old fashioned fair time fun. Jonathon, of course, had a corndog and rode the rides until he was about to pass out. We ran into some friends we haven't seen in a while, checked out all the farm animals and farm babies, my husband spent some time reminiscing about showing his animals as a child, and we all around just enjoyed our day with each other.

Sadly, my computer is not wanting to upload photos to share, but I have some posted on my Facebook page if you'd like to check them out!

I always look forward to the fair coming to town and we are fortunate enough to have a county fair close to us as well. So we will get to do it all over again in August! Can't wait.
I know the fair brings so many great memories to many families year after year. Here in California our fair system is at risk of having its state funding removed. The fair is not only a great place for families to come together and have a great day, but serves as a valuable educational tool to all the children who participate in the hundreds of projects available. From arts and crafts,agriculture and animal projects to wood shop the memories made and lessons learned are priceless. Let's hope that we can enjoy the fun for generations to come. Please make your voice heard and tell our Governor how valuable the fair experience has been to you and your family.
I'd love to know what is your favorite thing about the fair?
