i love Friday.
it's the first day of the long Labor Day weekend.
looking forward to being home with my Mr.
with family.
with friends.
and looking forward to doing something really fun.
an old tradition.
something we as a family have done for years on and off.
we did it every year the whole time we lived in Idaho.
it will be fun to re-connect to this tradition.
Sunday we are going to the Blackfoot Fair.
i can't wait.
tiger's ears.
corn on the cob on a stick dripping in butter.
baked Idaho potatos.
cinnamon coated nuts.
ginsu knives.
miracle cleaners.
hot tubs.
farm animals.
weird chickens.
huge pigs.
cows the size of a small house.
blue ribbon apple pies.
pumpkins the size of slug bugs.
you know, a good old fashioned fair.
we did this for years with our kids when they were little.
i can't wait.
picking up an old tradition.
the weekend also brings the Summer to an end.
sorta.
the Summer has been one to remember.
very special.
life changing.
all good.
back with my Mr.
kids working.
building their futures.
new homes.
hawaii.
so many great memories created together.
next week Meg & Jeremy move into their new house.
the Mr. & i will become "empty nesters."
just us.
for the first time ever.
it's going to be great.
just what we need.
excited for the next chapter together.
hoping you have a fun weekend planned.
even if it's just hanging out at home.
sounds good to me.
with the ones you love.
hello Friday.
Goodbye Summer.

Love going to the Fair (and by that I mean the MN State Fair). We go every year...for the same reasons you and your family do. It's so much fun...and don't forget the people watching. Amazing!
