Sparklers, Fair, Grands


The poor truck’s “check engine” light not only was on but was blinking yesterday morning, so we had it towed to Falmouth Motorcar.

Afterwards, Ron picked up the grands and stopped at Subway to feed them before the Fair (Peter and Bonnie were at a seminar in town).

We happened to hit the Fair just after a thunderstorm. There was a pocket of cooler air and NO CROWDS, so the boys and Grandpa got in a bunch of rides with no waiting.

Emme repeated her great performance of prior years, winning three stuffed toys, including a turtle, a frog and a bird.

The kids and Grandpa watched the seal show while I talked with the Master Gardeners and viewed some of the plant exhibits. I was amazed at how fresh the arrangements were after a week of miserable heat.

Afterwards, I made pizza on the grill but my timing was off. The toppings were great but I over-cooked the crust. Part of the learning process.

Emme wanted to work on the computer, so the boys went outside with Ron and I to burn through some sparklers.
