Canfield Fair My home fair. I don't make it there every year, but sure like to go as often as possible!  Gracelyn had never been there,  she has always been in school by fair time.  The view from the ferris wheel.  The kids like the archery shoot. And the food offerings are always unique and yummy!  And then this had us scrambling and running  for the car!  But, what a fun day! 

Do any of you have a bucket list? That seemed to have been the topic of conversation of the weekend. I made mine when I turned 40, more than a few years ago. They were not real lofty aspirations and I have accomplished most of them. JWS has one also. Not officially written down, top of his list when asked is, "Learn to play Layla on the piano."

Saturday found us at a fun wedding, lots of friends and good food, it was a nice evening. Sunday was spent at the zoo, Shelby, Shawnee and I and the four kids.  How fun!  A little exhausting, but a great time.   Of course I could not get  a picture in anywhere other than when we sat down to eat. The pinched look on the boys' faces is not from the sun, it was because I was standing on their feet to keep them from running off while my hands were on the camera.   Just kidding, but handholding was the rule of the day.  Favorite comment of the day: (Please close your ears if you are anti-hunter) Logan while looking at ...
