August 2010 Part II

The next weekend we went to the fair!  Our family tradition.  Here I am with Grandma and Grandpa making a traditional fair meal, fried biscuits and Grandma's eggs!  This year was Grandma and Grandpa's first year at the fair not using a  camper or motor home.  They slept in a tent!  Eighty + year olds sleeping in a tent...  I didn't believe that they would do it, but they did!!  Oh my goodness, the stories they told about Grandma being bounced off the air mattress by Grandpa sitting down on it.  Can you even believe they slept on an air mattress?  In a tent??  Too funny!

See my grandma?  That is me in fifty years... if I live that long...

Helping Grandpa do the biscuits.  He kept talking about how lots of people don't know how to fry them in our family...  "The secret is not getting the oil to hot..."

The chefs

My Great Uncle, Ranny with Mallary and his son Jimmy

Jonah's first year at the fair at four months old (I found out I was pregnant with him the year before at the fair!!)

My Grandpa always holds the babies.  He passed away this past summer, and all these pictures of him healthy are so precious to me.

John and I usually always do one of these at the fair every year, I wish I could find an extra spicy one we've done before... 

That is our cousin Tyler.  This was the first time we have met him.  He kept saying, "If we're cousins, how come we've never met before?"  It was really funny. But, he hung out with us and rode rides with Trevan. 

How cute are they?  We love the fair!
