Loading up and heading home

Sunday, August 21, 2022

Mav and I were enjoying breakfast together in the camper.  Our last of the fair.  Everyone was starting to pack things up and get the campers ready to pull home.


There is always a lot to do on the day we pack up and head for home from the fair.  



He likes to blow out the bottle after he has crumpled it up.  :) 


He learned this trick from his Mama!  :)

there was a steady stream of campers rolling out

hitching up





It has been a wonderful fair

2nd Saturday of the fair

Saturday, August 20, 2022
Mav was showing us his new backpack - he was ready to head to the fair for the day.  :) 



This was so sweet - Alisa K sent me this photo from the morning commission meeting.  She is attending state fair commission meetings with her daughter (the 2022 state fair queen) and she used this cup from the cabinet there for her coffee... left behind by a certain former commissioner we all know and love so much! 


The camper stairs are a perfect little seat and table for Mav this year.  He was enjoying his pudding cup on this particular day. 


who knew...

a pudding cup...

could be this good???  :D 

Good thing we have more!  :) 

My favorite little family - heading into the fair.

I took a tram around and took photos of some of the buildings.  I do love this fairgrounds so much.

Mav was excited!

Mav stayed with us until we headed back to the camper.  Had to take another photo of the Swine barn on the way.  :) 



These magnets are on our camper refrigerator.  Mama bought each of them when they took our camper to Vermont one year.  I think of her every single time I look at the refrigerator.  I miss her so much.  


We babysat Mav while the 'kids' attended the Justin Moore concert.  :) 


Relaxing in the camper -
Mav twirling my hair so he must be tired. :) 

We were watching Bob the Builder again... (the old version!)  

Love this sweet boy!


Mav was thinking about Namuna (while watching
Bob the Builder).  So we sent her this photo
of him waving hello at her.  :)
