Today we went to a funeral in the morning and then to the fair in the afternoon. This may seem like it would be a weird combination of events, but the memorial service was truly a “celebration of life”…aloha wear was even requested by the family. This would explain our outfits at the fair (No, D did not wear shorts and Tevas in the morning. He changed in the car.)
First stop was the petting zoo.
“Pick me up…these animals scare me!”
“That’s better.”
“What am I doing in a petting zoo?”
We watched kids try the climbing wall while drinking frozen lemonade. We didn’t see anyone reach the top. D wanted to try so he could add it to his “adventure” list–haha.
We weren’t too hungry since we ate lunch at church. Instead of indulging in the “mile-long hotdog” or the Australian battered potatoes we snacked on some fried apples. They were lightly battered and dusted with cinnamon sugar, and served with a generous dollop of whipped cream, pretty good. D said we were eating healthy. Um, not quite.
We briefly walked through the garden, visual arts and home arts displays. However, we didn’t catch any shows. I doubt k would’ve sat still anyway. We were pretty tired and called it a day.

Funny, when I first read, “We watched kids try the climbing wall while drinking frozen lemonade,” I thought…why would they allow kids to climb the wall with frozen lemonade in their hands? Kind of dangerous! As you can see, when I am away from my job of educating our youth, I become dumb. Anyway, those fried apples looked yummy! And I hope k isn’t forever traumatized by the petting zoo. Did they still have the little pigs there?

Great photos! The apples did look good.
K looks so cute in her orange Hawaiian dress. You would think the animals would be scared of her!
