Yesterday was Friday the 13th. It was my big brother's birthday. The kids and I went over to his place to see what they were up to. He and his wife Tammy were getting ready to head over to the Sioux Empire Fair, which started on Tuesday and ends tomorrow. We went with them. The weather was pretty descent, not too hot and a nice breeze going. First we went to the Expo building to check out all the booths, then we found a little paddle boat ride for Jacob and Aidan. They loved it! Then we were off to the kiddie barn, but by the time we got over there, it had closed it's doors for the night. So we made our way back to the grandstand area to hear a piece of "Lifehouse", but no luck, we were off and on our way out by the time they got on stage.
Today I went back to the fair, but this time it was for work. Three of us from Girl Scouts had a small fun area. It was pretty cool, it was a small baby pool of bubbles. Kids came and used the pipe cleaners we had put together and blew away. Weather was really good today too and we had a great spot, not far from the entrance, so catching girls was pretty easy. Kids of all ages, boys and girls had fun with the bubbles though.
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the night. Star Wars is on, so I'm sure we'll have that on till the last movie is over. Why is it we seem to watch the movies on TV when we own them???
Anyway, the fair had some neat booths in their expo building. There was one booth that had a piece of equipment, exercise equipment, but all you do is stand on it and let it "shake" you. It was really neat, but the price of those things is not so neat, nearly $1000 is what they are selling them for at the fair, normally they run around $1700. Definitely an investment.
Well, off to see what else the night brings. TTFN
