GOOD TIMES! ***UPDATED***
Ruby & I are headed out today to her first visit EVER to one of my favorite places on earth!
THE TOPSFIELD FAIR!
It's america's oldest agricultural fair!
And, despite the fact that I'm sick as a dog with probably the worlds WORST cold & cough ever... WE'RE GOING!
Because I promised my daughter last night that as long as Momma didn't wake up with a fever, we were 'GO' for the FAIR!
So...
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
(pictures later I'm sure...)
This is my girl on the way to the fair. Let's just say the traffic was WORSE THAN IN CHINA.
Nuff said?
But because we drove slow enough, we were free to not only enjoy the scenery, but also to take PICTURES of it!
*evilgrin*
Here we are finally at the fair & wouldn't you know it, my camera is being MOODY!
So, the color on this pic is crap but WE'RE CUTE even in distorted colors!
*grin*
Isn't this hat neat? It's hand knit from Alpaca wool! IT WAS SO TOASTY, but also SO EXPENSIVE! Since I couldn't afford to buy it, I figured I'd take a pic of me IN IT just to remember it. hehehe Yes, I am retarded.
Here are the beautiful clydesdale's... took these pics specifically for Ruby's Aunt Catherine!
*even though she won't see them for a few till her computer gets fixed*
Here's the largest pumpkin on the north shore... this bad boy weighed in at 1,347.5!!
That's one hell of pumpkin pie just WAITING to be made!
Awwww, why is it that all of a sudden I'm craving a burger?
This is 'Tom'.
He's a little pissed off because someone walking by casually mentioned the 'T' word...
Sorry Tom, but you'll look GREAT with some gravy, stuffing & cranberry sauce my friend!
All this talk about food had made my girl a little hungry... how's that popcorn baby?
Ruby points out something to me, and I look up and what do I see?
Dozens of crazy people flying a buck 20 over my HEAD!
Excellent... PLEASE DON'T FALL ON ME!
And after that? CANDY FOR DESSERT!
*not sure if you can make out that one in the front one in from the right,
but it says 'boston baked beans'*
& they're YUMMY TOO!
The bandstand was alive with music and miss Ruby & me danced till our feet hurt!
This is a phenominal site to see, this is ACTUAL SAND and an ACTUAL HAND CRAFTED SAND CASTLE!!! Man, that thing is there every year & ever year it never ceases to amaze the shit out of me! TALENTED PEOPLE THAT'S FOR SURE!
Other things that are there every year... THIS HIDEOUS MANNEQUIN!
Thing SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME EVERY YEAR & you'd think that EVENTUALLY I'd REMEMBER that it's FAKE & NOT REAL!
*not so much*
Jumped a MILE, AGAIN!
*sigh*
My girl's FIRST OFFICIAL Topsfield Fair T-shirt.
*I bought this TWO YEARS AGO knowing that SOMEDAY, \
I'd have a daughter to put it on*
*smile*
This year, I bought her a blue one in the next size up for NEXT YEARS FAIR!
hehehehe
But perhaps I'll have to find her a new pair of specs, this time tinted blue to match!
And last but not least, what better way for miss Ruby to end her first visit to the fair,
then with a spin around the carousel with her favorite uncle Steve!

Feel better and have fun!
Oooo sounds great! (except the cough bit!) Hope you wake up miraculous clear of any ailments, and have a awesome time! When you gobble up some of the that fairy floss (can't remember what you guys call it, the spun sugar on a stick... you know the really healthy stuff!) think of me!!!
Ahhh Lee-anne, we call that COTTON CANDY! I am eating some as I type this, MMMMMM MMMMMMMM GOOD! But, might as well tape it to my ass, that's where its' going to end up anyways. LOL
What a fun afternoon...it looks like you guys had a BLAST!
Love the pic update...Ms Ruby Cate has some seriously cool flair in her specks :0)
Thanks for the update! Love the photos! I'm guess the Red Sox, beat the Yankees? I have no clue what I'm talkin about!
The fair looks great! I'm now drooling (homer style)... mmmmm....candy.....
Looks like a good time alright. I love fair food. It's the best. (well technically the worst cuz you're right about taping it to your ass LOL!)Love Ruby's shades!
