prepare yourselves for the HEAVIEST photo post of.all.time. And then times that by 2;)
the Annual Steam Engine Show - yep, that's a real thing...something we country folk look forward to EVERY year;) Mostly for the insane amounts of food. They added fajita/tacos this year. Excelente:) And the massive amounts of ice cream. This year, in addition to the Maple Nut, I had vanilla with fresh strawberries. Um. Yeah. Mmm. Mmm. GOOD.
but it's really the tractors and history that draw us in....wait. Nope. It's not;)
It's the ridiculous Flea Market. And every year I buy something that has the entire group of workers - Jacob's family business has a food stand here every year - but EVERY year they alllll have a good laugh about what Casey brings back from the Flea Market;) I have no regrets about ANY most someeee my purchases;)
this was Jacob's thought on what I brought back this year:
"if you paid .50 for that...you paid too much"...
i paid $31.50 more than that. BUT it's amazing and I will do a post shortly on that:):)
this is surely a family affair! We always get up bright and early to get out to the flea market and walk, walk, walk! The kiddos love the sunglasses and they all picked out a pair that suited their personalities perfectly!!!!
i love that time, before they let their friends influence their likes and dislikes, and they are just completely themselves:) I hope they can always hold on to that:)
all the fun stuff I passed on:( Things sometimes get a bit pricey. Disappointing. I'm really only looking for a booth that has no clue what somethings worth...where I can really get a steal:)
anddddd I think I was born in the wrong era;)
homer was SUCH a great little boy all weekend!!! I can't believe how good he's been with all the moving around and the heat and us putting sunglasses on him - we're such assholes;). I love that as he gets older, he becomes more content. That getting older part is hard on my heart though:(
but I'm proud of how well he adapts to all the change and moving around! My baby is able to nap almost anywhere! This is a fantastic thing:)
the heat...and food;)...got to us eventually!:)
as you can see...we bore easily and are easily entertained;) Homer was a great distraction from all the nothingness going on around us a lot of the time:)
the food spot:)
me and my boy toy;)
do I look a wee bit tired!!!!??;)
it was such a great time and I was so lucky to have the weekend off of work AND have the weather cooperate! I think I must have repeated myself a million times...but I kept saying how I couldn't believe this weekend had come. We talked last year about how we'd have a baby for the Steam Show and how different that would be. And here we are. And it doesn't seem that different. It's just us...and Homer now:)
i think Homer loved the flea market. Takes after his mom:)
the weekend didn't quite end there. Seeing as the weather was so great...we thought we'd squeeze in another trip to the beach. Could be one of our last, sadly:( So between trips the Steam Show, we ran out to the water:)
pigg watched the kids all weekend because Court and Mal work the Steam Show - in the food stand. So
shield your eyes...the ladies were on display.
PS. that is like an XXL top. Arg. I'm not bragging. But it's impossible to tame them at this point.;)
i sometimes wish I had someone to just follow Homer and I around and take photos. It seems that so often I'm taking photos of him with everyone else and then before you know it...I realize he's 4 months old and I have no photos of the 2 of us together!! BUT Jacob will have a camera in hand this coming week - we're going on Vacation!!!! More to come on that. But that should help:)
although, today was a Friday. A day off of work. Homer and I snuggled before starting the day. Starbucks was had. We saw Jacob on his break for x's and o's:) AND I upgraded to the iPhone 4 and now heading to my girlfriends for wine. SO I think I'm gonna go cry a bit cause I'm SO damn happy;)
life is good:)
Awesomely fun photos :) And hilarious write-up too about the flea market purchases :)
