Horsing Around

The Alaska State Fair continues to be a family tradition. Even with Bob somewhere in the wilderness hunting winter meat for his woman, this year was no exception. From the 941 pound pumpkin to the newly hatched chicks excitement abounded at every turn. The highlight of the adventure aside the overpriced, cardiovascular blocking cuisine was definitely the pony ride. I hope this newly discovered fascination with large animals will allow me to replace our sultry Barbies with the Black Stallion Collection.
Throughout the day, wining was kept to a minimum, arguments were few and the girls were entertained for an entire seven hours. I'm considering purchasing an industrial fryer and becoming an equestrienne.

It was you guys! I thought I saw your daughters at the fair at a glance, and then I looked away for a minute and they were gone! I thought I might have been crazy. My kids had so much fun there!

That was the best state fair I've ever been to. Miss you guys.

Gotta love state fairs, the greasy food, greasy rides and greasy carnies! UGH, remember all the carnies when the rodeo would come through Oakdale?? (or were you ever there during that time?) My GC days are a blur, I just remember having a blast with you. I miss you!
