Friday we got to go to some yard sales with Auntie Karen. Hannah bought this outfit with her money. Too funny! Karen found some great deals including two chairs for her new house!!!! Then Friday night we had a movie on the lawn at our church. It was a lot of fun. We watched Facing the Giants. Loved that movie! You all need to see it.
Saturday we went to the Mascoutah Homecoming parade then to the fair with MawMaw, Papa and Auntie Karen. We had a super time, but it was terribly hot!! It wasn't nearly as good of a parade as Red Bud's :)
Karen and me at the parade
His facial expressions never fail to put a smile on my face. He brings so much joy to my life!
We let the girls ride one ride. I can't believe how fast $$$ adds up for those stupid rides. We are thinking about getting Six Flag season tickets next year so we can ride all we want whenever we want and not have to do the rides at fairs :) Plus, our Six Flags have quite a few Christian concerts. Does anyone else hear "DATE NIGHT"??
After dark it started to get a bit more tolerable. So, we decided to boogie for a little while. It wasn't a kid band or anything, but it looks like only the kids were brave enough to cut the rug :)
Joseph joined the band. It was cute. The band had all kinds of percussion instruments that they let the kids play during the songs. My kids had a blast!
TADA!!! Here we all were sweaty and red-faced. Fun times and great memories. Thanks Karen for taking some pictures for me. Without you, I would never have a face :)
Sigh....on to a more weighty issue. We have done terribly on our "diet" in July. I have not even gotten on the scale. We have been on vacation mode the whole time. We are purposing to start anew in August. So, I guess I will have to brave the scale tomorrow. Pray that it isn't as bad as I think it is.

You guys have some of the coolest things to attend! We don't have a lot of stuff like that around here. It looks like a ton of fun! I would like to come visit sometime...you'll have to plan a fun outing.
Thanks so much for inviting me!!! I always have a great time with you guys, this time in spite of the heat!! I would have to say that Red Bud parade was better! However this fair had THE best corndogs I have ever had!!!!! OH SOO GOOD!! Thanks again for asking me to go! I love you guys!
Yes, I will admit that there are tons of great activities around here...and the best part is that they are usually free except for food and drink. We were even able to bring a cooler with drinks. What a cool financial blessing.
Karen...I totally agree...Red Bud is the best parade around, but Mascoutah had the most stupendous corn dogs. Yummy!!!! We loved having you as usual. YOu are family, no buts about it. You can't get rid of us now :)
