We had a productive weekend - enjoying the county fair and hawaiian festival. We haven't been to the fair in a few years, so being out there was a huge eye opener for us. Of course, the lovely smell of the cows, horses, and pigs reminded us of being out in the 'country'; its sure not cheap anymore! I remember growing up playing games that cost 25 cents or 50 cents. Gee, talk about inflation. One game can cost you $3.00. But of course its all about the fun right?? And as much as Jadeline loves that Merry go round ride ( I honestly wanted to tell the ride operator to stop as i began to feel dizzy), its an experience she has to do. My dad gave me that experience, so she deserves it too.
We also drove to Vancouver where they held a hawaiian festival. It was great listening to a variety of Hawaiian music or to be around local people speak pidgin. It felt like home again. But I can't believe that we stood in line for almost 45 minutes for malasadas! It wasn't the same, but as close as we could get.
