We ate lots of greasy and fattening foods which definitely made it even more worth the trip. Kai rode his first merry-go-round and his first roller coaster which he made by a hair literally when he was measured! The new experiences and my steak pita (mashed potatoes, steak tips, sauteed onions and mushrooms on pita bread) I would do it all over again...and again just for the pita.
I'm so grateful for friends who remind me to get out and enjoy trying something new. As much as I love my normal routine, I know that for my sanity and for Kai to really have awesome experiences I have to stretch myself even when I least want to. I recently read Elizabeth Ivie's post on intentional friend making and she even touched on navigating the whole paradigm of internet friendships. Shortly after I soaked in that post (it's a great read) - I spent a few minutes talking with a long time friend (more or less a little lecture) on needing to get out more and actually enjoy the friendships I've made. Life can get so busy I (especially all moms) easily neglect what we most need in general as women and that is genuine friendships. So thank you dear friend, I needed that push to not just sit behind a screen or interact at work, but enjoy the time spent with valued friends.
As always here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend (my camera died right before we got into the fair...but it probably was best to enjoy it all first hand)!
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for the week. I'm excited to share the crafts I've been working on and an update on my time with the She Reads Truth devotionals! Also I love this picture of Mike, I don't always catch him in a candid...but when I do it's something else.
