For those who have been here long enough, you’ll know that we love “Fair Week”! We don’t buy as much groceries as usual during Fair Week because we know we’ll be going down to the local fairgrounds for dinner most evenings.
Fair Week wrapped up recently for us. It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to the fair that we wait for all year long.
This year, I told my husband that I would not be getting the infamous “monster cheese” that I had been loving for years prior. First of all, it’s a pound of deep fried cheese. Nobody needs a pound of deep fried anything. Of course, I’d share it with the family, but still.
Our fair food favorites this year included an orange chicken bowl from a Christian food truck, soft pretzels and cheese for Laney girl, corn dogs for Piper and Nick’s favorite Gyro.
The girls got ride-a-rama a couple of times, and we toured the animal barns quite a few times throughout the week. Laney’s kindergarten field trip was on Friday, and Piper got to walk around the fair with friends for the first time this year; getting a taste of freedom (with a walkie talkie in hand to stay in touch).
The change of season is upon us! Now that the fair is over, and homecoming is about to begin at the school, it’s officially feeling like Fall for us! We decorated the house this past weekend, and the dinner menu is changing with the season. I am ready for all the slow-cooked, home-cooked meals! Especially so after eating out for nearly a week at the fair.
I am looking forward to “getting back on track”.
