After not having Labor Day to celebrate the past couple of years, we completely enjoyed our long weekend. Max woke up with strep throat on Saturday morning, but after a quick trip to the doctor and stopping at the pharmacy for some antibiotics, we were soon on the road to Fort Wayne. We spent some time with Josh's mom there before leaving the kids with her and heading to one of the local country clubs. It was there that we joined about 100 of Josh's high school classmates and their spouses to celebrate their 20th reunion. We both enjoyed ourselves immensely since I knew almost as many people as Josh did and one of my best friends was also in attendance. We ate, drank, and danced until the wee hours of the night. Very fun! Unfortunately, I did not bring my camera along (can you believe it?) so I will have to ask for some pictures from others before I can post them. On Sunday, Josh and his brother drove up to northern Indiana to look at a car that Josh thought he was interested in buying (he wasn't) while I gathered up the kids and Josh's mom and drove over to visit my brother. My parents are in Canada for a well deserved vacation so it was my turn to check on Bruce and to take him on his annual trip to the Van Wert County fair. My gourmand children rarely eat much junk food, thanks to their mother's strong convictions about good and healthy food, but boy, they sure love it when given the opportunity!
We all filled up on funnel cakes, foot long hot dogs, pie, fried ice cream, nachos, and BBQ pork. Thankfully, even my kids drew the line at eating fried Oreos and fried candy bars! After our junk food bonanza and looking at the animals, it was time for a few midway games before heading home.
County Fairs at not cheap for 7 people! Whew! But everyone had fun, especially Bruce. After taking Bruce home, putting the kids to bed and reconnecting with Josh, Josh and I went to the theater to see "Julie and Julia". Fantastic! I can't remember the last time that we saw a movie in the theater! And, I had read both books on which the movie is based so I enjoyed it immensely! Today, we spent hanging out with Josh's family and his adorable, niece, Emilie.
Super weekend!
