It was a long work week at the fair but I can't complain, it was fun and I was able to work right alongside Belén and meet tons of people. The other kids were excited because this was the first year they got to come every night. Oh, and our office's booth won First place for best community booth!

Now that it's over, I can start cleaning the house. It looks as if 5 kids lived here alone all week, which they pretty much did. Afterwards I can resume normal blogging activities - details, thoughts, and even a little project that I did for the library. But, the house is killing me so I need to tackle it first. If you need me, I'll be buried under toys and laundry.

Love where you live

Last week I mentioned one thing I loved about where I live. Besides that, the arrival of Santa to our town square, the college parade and of course, the always enjoyable Hershey's Chocolate free factory tour ride, there are many other family friendly activities in full swing right now. Our current favorite is the free family movie in the park.

The week before last, I had to cover up with a blanket after the sun went down when there was a slight breeze. What a difference a week makes! Last week, I didn't even want to sit on a blanket, opting for the cool grass in the 94 degree heat, even at 10 pm. It was hot, hot but fun.

We love to scout out the local activities in each place we have lived. One of the funniest things we went to was the annual "Spring Ho" in a sleepy, little Texas town. It was actually really fun but it was the crowning of "Miss Spring Ho" that was so funny. Can you imagine having that title?? Hilarious, right?! Or is that just my warped sense of humor talking?

Most communities do a great job getting the word out about their events but if you find that you haven't heard what is going on within your community, just call your local Chamber of Commerce, grab a newspaper, head to the library or google your town's office and look at the community calendar of events.
It's all waiting for you. Go enjoy!
