State Fair! WooHoo!!

Who doesn't love the State Fair! Lots of great food, Lots of people to see (there are some interesting folk that live in Indiana), Educational (Mason didn't quite know what to think about seeing where milk came from), did I mention the food! It was hot hot when we were there, but again, state fair. Mason had one thing on his mind for food: chocolate ice cream. He is not a sweets person, but the boy can eat some chocolate ice cream! Audrey, stuck with the cheese fries and funnel cake. We did not try the choc. covered bacon. Sorry, there's something about eating something called "pigs in mud" that makes me not want to stop there. There was an IFD engine there. The kids felt right at home. Can't wait for next year! (Thanks for the pictures, Grant!)

On a side note, Mason, even though he comes off as this rough and tough little boy, I think has inherited my sensitive side. They other night it was just the three of us (Kenny was working), Mason came up and sat down next to me on the couch, looked at me and said," Mom, I love you." Just out of the blue. Talk about melting my heart. It's not the first time he's said things like that out of the blue before. Just days before that, we were getting ready to sit down for dinner and he said, "this looks good mom. Thanks for making dinner. Thanks for taking care of us." I stopped in my tracks! I was shocked. Talk about tears in a moms eyes. I think he's too young to be buttering me up for something, right?
