Plus, out of everyone, she's a cheap date.
We got there and I realized I FORGOT MY CAMERA! Oh, NOOOOOOO. *Everyone takes photos of the Lilacs and the various oddities (people) that walk around.
Oh, well, we knew what we wanted to taste and see, so here's our (photo-less) report:
- Top of the list: fresh-squeezed lemonade, corn dog and funnel cake (hey, I never said I was going for healthy and balanced)
- I was buying some clever tees that I thought my kids would appreciate,
Bruises are cool.
- and since they were buy 2, get one free; I was deliberating over the design of the third (for me). As I was debating whether to go with one that was too large vs one that was, shall we say, more form-fitted; my daughter pipes up to help me with my decision by saying; "If you want it to last longer (to grow into) you should go with the bigger one." :-X The proprietor and I looked each other and cracked up. Umm, no, I don't think that's what I'm shooting for.
- A select few of you will get why we HAD to have this tee, "I canoe. Canoe canoe?"

- The kettle corn line was about a 1/4 of a mile long. No lie. What is the appeal?
- There was an older man wearing dirty yellow crocs. Why?
- There were 2 women who we kept crossing paths with who were dressed like the Wicked Witch of the West with striped stockings and thick black shoes. Yes, 2 of them.
- As I waited in line for a turkey leg (Yay! I don't have to cook dinner!) we were surrounded by a group of gang-bangers (or pierced, bandanna'd, droopy-drawered wannabees) with potty mouths who peppered their speech with so many f%^&s that a girl in front of us told them to knock it off. Aaahhhh, diversity.
- I had to mortgage my house to buy 2 turkey legs.
- They were big enough to feed a golf foursome.
- Even my 14 year old gave up and said he couldn't finish it.
- Artichokes French were a HUGE disappointment.
They really are beautiful and fragrant.

*sigh* - first year we didn't go! And while I love looking at the lilacs, I really go for the food.
Yeah, I totally don't get the kettle corn thing. Blech. I think the guy travels all the way from Florida?
I love how you describe yesterday as a bit "cool" ... what universe are you living in? I'd roll my eyes but I think my corneas froze to my eyelids yesterday.
wahhhhh I love lilacs so very much and they just don't grow here in the desert.
Turkey legs, gang-bangers, and witches. Sounds like a set-up for a bad joke. Was Allen Funt lurking in the bushes?
Love the canoe shirt!
I love lilacs! They are my favorite flowering bush. The sad thing is that I can't get one to grow outside of my house. I think I need new dirt in my flower beds....
I love lilacs. We have a tree in our backyard, but there's some kind of vine that is slowly killing it, and it's too overpowering to be able to get rid of it easily...and so, every year, the lilacs get less and less.
Too funny your out stalking on the blog catalog!! Fun.
I like how organized the site is for us. I have had a hard time finding good blogs by just clicking around.
