the fair

This weekend we went to our local country fair.  We rode on some rides.

 And, tried all sorts of yummy treats!

I can't believe today is the last day of September! I have started to pull out all of my Halloween decorations.  Check back later in the week to see some of them.  Happy Monday!

that's a wrap

Last weekend was our local country fair.  Some friends let us park at their aunt's house which was SO helpful.  To thank her aunt and uncle we brought a bottle of wine that I wrapped in a bandanna and tied a "moo-chas gracias" tag to the top with some raffia.

We also brought a bunch of snacks..... apple tart, baked brie and some of these tiny caramel apples.  Yum!  They would look adorable with white lollipop sticks and paper flags attached to the top too.  I may do that for Halloween!  Here's what we brought last year!

Every September there is a big country fair in the next town over from ours.  We brought the children on Friday and they had a blast.  On Saturday night we were invited to an adult party at a friend's house.  They happen to live right across the street from the fair. They had white twinkle light's hanging in the trees, pumpkins and hay bales decorating the yard, and a bar set up outside.  We sat on their front lawn and listened to the band playing at the fair and didn't have to deal with the crowds.  It was a great evening!  I decided to bring dessert and thought it would be fun to go with a "fair food" theme.  I made some cupcakes and topped them with some mini hot dogs.  Hope you weekend was as fun and as sweet as ours!
