Grammie's Birthday...

Today is Grammie's birthday - Happy Birthday, Grammie!

And to celebrate, Alexander & I went over to spend the day with Grammie, Grampie & auntie Alyson. We also carried out an annual family tradition of going to the Marshfield Fair. Yes, I know...we potentially introduced Alexander to white trash so early on in his life... but at least he'd be too young to understand what any of it meant. We go every year and it truly something we all look forward to, especially Dan the Candy Man. (You buy tickets, a dart hits a board with numbers and if your number is called you win a pile o' candy) We practically win every year too... and this usually my main reason for going.

We walked around a bit before heading to Dan the Candy Man. We stopped to see the animals (cows, horses, swine & rabbits) I opted out of the poultry house only to find clowns waiting outside - EEK!! Seeing how it was so hot & muggy we made a bee-line to the Candy Man. But low & behold, Dan the Candy Man was standing to the right of his locked up booth! Could it be?? It was over?? No candy man?? Alyson & I were devastated. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. Might as well go home now... it was started to drizzle anyway, so we walked the long way back to our car.

After a WEEEE nap at Grammie & Grampie's, it was time for Grammie's cake and to finish the birthday celebration before the long drive home.

Don't we look SO SMALL in the big chair?? The price was a rip off for what we got but we were at the fair and we didn't spend that money on Dan the Candy Man...
