Where I have been?! Hubby comes home and suddenly this whole blog thing seems to fall apart. I guess the intention was to keep him up to date, but I thought I would have kept it going...for...mmmm....myself? Dunno. Anyway. We have been up to all kinds of crazy busy things. I don't really think I can cover it all. Between the army sponsored marriage retreat at the Gaylord, our historical trip to the birthplace of Texas, and of course, The Great State Fair of Texas, man...we're wiped O-U-T!
Guess I'll fill ya in a little on THE greatest fair. The fair is our tradition. We both independently love the fair, and we even go engaged there (on the Ferris wheel, no less). So when I say I love the fair, I mean it! So, for the first time, we decided to let someone else in on our tradition...Baby. And, at the end of the day, we decided that next time we take TWO trips to the fair. One for us, one for family. Is that selfish? Mmm...no answers, please. Momma and Daddy having a "not as perfect time as in years past" did not put a damper on Baby's fun, though, and for this I am glad. I want Baby to love the fair as much as us! And who wouldn't?! A whole saloon scenario made out of butter? Deep fried butter? A sky tram, circus, petting zoo, corney dogs, and musical shows...I ask again, just who wouldn't love the fair?
I've gotta clue you in on some info I learned from the milking demonstration. So, everyone is all organic these days (I too, am a part of this craze, but I've gotten a little on the fence about milk because of the price!). So, I question the 'ole milk expert. I say, "What is the difference between organic milk and other milk." Without missing a beat he says, "Nothing." Nothing?! Nothing? Nothing? I say? Nothing, he repeats. According to him, no one uses hormones in milk anymore. Mmmmm...things are getting interesting. I say, there's gotta be SOME difference. He concedes that an organic farm probably has to sell a cow if it gets sick and they have to treat with an antibiotic. Other farms just wait (can we count on this?) until the drug is out of the system. Interesting, very interesting. I think I'm gonna put my organic dollars towards produce instead of milk.
Anyway. Like I said. Baby had a great time. As Hubby was putting her to bed she asked if we could go to the fair again tomorrow. And then on the way to church she mentioned it again. I just have to remind her the fair is a special treat...only once a year!
