Bringing The Fair Home!

We decided not to go to the fair this year because we are making a trip to Utah and we'd rather have extra money for that then going to the fair.  So we decided to bring the fair home.  
So for our FHE activity tonight we let the kids play games and win some fun prizes (I love the dollar store!).  First they played tic-tac-toe with a bean bag tossing game.  That was kind of hard for the kids, so I had to eventually just let them win their prizes.  The next game was a fishing game.  I hid behind our camping mattresses and Chet helped them reel the prizes in, the kids loved that one.  The last game they had to throw the balls and try to knock down the bowling pins.  Since they just love to throw things in the house, that was probably the best game of the night!
During all this Chet cooked up some prime rib and then made the most delicious sandwiches from it.  It was so good, better than the ones at the fair, but I'm probably just prejudice with that.  :)  Oh, and the corn on the cob was excellent too, don't you just love fresh corn? mmmm....
For dessert we decided to do cotton candy and it was actually kind of good.  I found it at the dollar store, so I wasn't too sure of it, but not bad.  Way better freshly made at the fair though.
Well, that was about it for tonight.  Tomorrow night I'm making more food for dinner that we probably would have eaten if we had gone.  Nighty-night!  :)
