Since Big Sis is gone vacationing in St. Joe’s, MI, I decided that I would blog about our trip up to the fair last Thursday night. So here goes! Mommy picked Morgan and me up from school like usual, but NOT like usual, we skipped our ever-so-predictible, “Thursday Night, McDonald’s Night” trip and headed right up to Mema’s house instead. We quickly whisked Mema into the car and headed up to something called, “The Fair.” Mommy had some other choice adjectives for this wonderous place, but I have a feeling she’d like me to leave those thoughts and feelings out. Once there, we parked VIP style in the YMCA parking lot…right next to Pepa’s wheels. Before I knew what was going on, MorganLee was in her undies putting on a pink shirt, and Mommy was redressing me in an orange shirt with some pretty big letters on it! I now know that this shirt is a right of passage. It’s the Mugg Electric Inc Shirt. Mommy made T.C., Pepa, Morgan, and me all stand (or be held) together with our shirts on. It was definitly a “Kodak Moment.”

2007 4H Fair

After the photo-op, I hit the elusive Fair Office with Pepa to talk some “Fair Talk.” While everyone else was discussing the latest happenings on the grounds, I was noticing all the super big shiny belt buckles that everyone seemed to be wearing. Some were bigger than my head!! I’ve gotta’ get my chubby fingers on one of those!

Next we hit the rabbit barn…LOVED IT!! I pointed, squeaked, laughed, smiled, and poked all the bunnies within range! They reminded my of Kitty!

Horses came next…LOVED IT! It was really cool when the horses looked eye-to-eye at me and neighed!

We toured the sheep barn…LOVED IT!! Again, I squeaked and pointed a lot!

While all the animals were MY favorite part…Big Sis was chomping at the bit to experience the overpriced rides. However, before we hit the midway, she hung out with Pepa turning lights on, talking to people, getting a balloon, talking to people, and snagging a fireman’s hat and coloring book while talking to people. See a theme here?

Sis finally got to enjoy some rides (Thanks Mema!) before speeding through the Home Ec. Building and heading home to hit the hay!

All in all, I’d say my very first fair experince was very cool, and I can’t wait to come back for more! Look out bunnies! On the other hand, Mommy is still recovering from her allergic-like response to “Fair Dust.” Where’s your 4-H Spirit, Mommy?!?!

Thanks to Pepa, Mema, & TC for a super cool evening! Long Live the Fair!

Watch Morgan and I as she helps me enjoy some of that blueberry yogurt goodness!

Thanks for letting us crash your pool again, Mema! We swam all afternoon with Riley and Taylor and had lots of fun. Big Sis did cannonballs and can openers off of the side, and Riley and Taylor even got in on the “jumping in” action with Aunt Jill and Aunt Carrie as the rescue nets. I got a new mini-pool that Mommy floated in the big pool so I could be out with all of the action, which was pretty cool. I also spent my daily recommended time sitting on the side eating puffs, wheels, goldfish, and whatever other food was within arms reach.

We had a great time swimming and playing with Riley and Taylor at Mema and Pepa’s house today!

Today started like a normal, “Day at Mema’s,” but after some playing at her house, a trip to Walmart, lunch, and a two hour nap, Mommy packed MorganLee and me up in the car and headed to something called Canal Days in Delphi. I got to visit with lots of family while I was strollered and/or carried around the place checking everything out. I don’t know much about the canal, but I can tell you that the place was jam packed with food, food, and more food that went straight to my belly! Make sure to check out the pics!
