Seaside Festival

Every Columbus day weekend the neighboring town holds a Seaside Festival. It really doesn't have anything to do with the sea as my friend Beverly thought. There are arts and craft tents, raffles, food, exhibits, concerts, rides for the children, etc.

Britt called me to tell me that she was going and Tim and I met her there. Now, as much as I love craft fairs, I HATE trying to find a place to park. We found a place a little bit away and walked to the fair on the school grounds. Graceful me tripped in a hole and went down on my "backside" and twisted my ankle. I am always doing lovely things like that. The ankle is fine but my back was a little sore most of the day. It's always fun (not!) to fall in public with an audience catching every moment. Tim was very sweet to make sure his mother was ok. He's a good boy!

We waited for Britt to get there and enjoyed the fair with the kids. Mackenzie seemed to enjoy herself. She and I split a chicken lunch. I wish I had gotten some fried dough though.

Jack was his smiling self as usual. He was smiling at his Uncle Tim in this picture.

This is my niece Telia with Mackenzie. Telia is living with Britt and her family. :)
Mackenzie was fascinated with the scarecrows and went over to have a look.

The school mascot, a dolphin, was at the fair and charged me $1 to take Mackenzie's picture (with my camera!) Oh, well, hopefully it is going to a good cause.
Every time we go to the fair (usually the Barnstable County Fair) I make sure to buy Mackenzie something. Today she picked out the horse! While Tim and I were waiting for the family to show up we looked at an exhibit that had an eagle.
How appropriate to be posing in front of our country's flag.

My apologies to my blogging friends for being a bit scarce this week. I've had a lot going on and have been exhausted. I tried to catch up. If I have missed you it was not intentional!

take care,
Dawn
