Aloha Friday!


It's been a while since I've done Aloha Friday, so I thought I'd go for it again this week.

This weekend is the start of Borrego Days! This is a HUGE event here in town. It technically started last week, with a town clean-up. Big Sis went, since I was out of town. Last night, Huell Howser from PBS' California Gold was at our Performing Arts Center for a meet-and-greet. It was fun! Very informative and educational. Big Sis went with me was was somewhat bored. But, she got her pic taken with Huell, which Grandma will get a kick out of.

Today is a minimum day for the kids, since the festivities kick off tonight. There's even a Miss Borrego Pageant tonight, where several Senior Girls compete for the much-coveted title of Miss Borrego. Tomorrow is the parade, which Big Sis will participate in, dressed as Cinderella. The theme is "What I want to do in the Future" or something like that, and she wanted to go as a doctor, but that was last year's costume. So I told her to wear her Cindy costume, and tell the principal that she wants to work at Disney while she went to college to be a doctor. HAHA. Clever mom, huh?

So, my Aloha Friday question is this:

What do you enjoy most about fairs? Your local fair, county fair, or state fair, what's your favorite thing?

I don't know what to expect...rides? Funnel cake? I have NO idea...so it's hard for me to get super excited. But, I'll post a FULL report on Monday!



Also, head over to Nothing But PURPLE for a chance to win Mabel Labels. I won some from MomDot over the summer, and they are AWESOME little labels!

  4. The best part of our fair is the animals. I never realized this until we took the kids for the first time this summer. Anytime we saw a cow Dude would just bust out laughing like it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen (coulda been, he's only 1)!

  5. The rides make me queasy, so I just go for the food now. Anything on a stick. LOVE FUNNEL CAKES! Used to love candy apples until I had a few root canals, now I just press my face against the glass and drool at them. lol

  8. I have not been to too many fairs. Most are not very close to where we are. The few times I went the fun food were neat, but everything is just so $$ for my taste.
