Reading Fair!



Today was the last day of the Reading Fair. The hospital has a picnic there for employees and their families. It's always a fun time but so stinkin' hot!! Why are fairs always held in August when the temps are in the 90's? I never really understood that. But, the good thing was that today was in the mid to high 80's so it wasn't too terrible. The kids enjoyed the rides as usual. Macy was bummed that she couldn't go on the swings. The height minimum was 49 inches, which she is, but the guy wouldn't let her go on. She just about cried, poor thing!!

Jack was in all of his glory in the John Deere tent!! He LOVES tractors!! He had to come home and ride his motorized Gator too! Which, he still doesn't quite get the steering down. He almost took out a bush, flipped it, and hit 2 pedestrians! Then he was all upset when we told him he had to take a break! LOL



Tomorrow we have to pack and shop for our vacation. We are going camping for 3 nights!! Wish me luck!! I am not of the camping variety, I guess you'd say! Chris loves that stuff, and I love him, so I do it for him! We went one night last year and I did not sleep the entire time, until he got up to make breakfast in the morning!! So, me being the girl that I am, made sure to get us a campground that is sort of "divafied". There is an indoor inground pool with spa and exercise room! Free wi-fi! Our tent site has water and electric, therefore I can take my hairdryer!! There are nice bathhouses, so I can shower, wash my hair and face and pee in a toilet! I think I may make it this time! I decided if I don't sleep the first night, I am going to go buy some Tylenol PM or something else to help knock me out the second night!! All of this in the Finger Lakes of New York!! Supposedly the campsite is across the street from Seneca Lake. It will be beautiful, I'm sure and I'll get lots of pictures, but will I survive? LOL

If you don't hear from me by Thursday, you know why!!

Oh Rachael. That's not really camping! Wi-fi?!! I have to be honest and say I don't sleep well camping either. I don't even like sleeping on the floor at home, let alone on the hard ground. Hope you had a good time! And congrats on BHG!
