FALL = FAIR

One of the many things I love about living in a small town is when the fair comes to town. The sounds, the lights, combined with the smells of cotton candy, shrimp gumbo and of coarse funnel cake all remind me that cooler whether is on its way and all over town people are talking about the fair. The older more seasoned fair goers are talking about those blue ribbon tomatoes while their grandchildren are planning which ride they will ride 100+ times. Moms and dads are busy trying to decide which booth they will get their gumbo from and how on earth they will get out of there without spending at least a weeks salary.

As the usually are around here the funds are tight. I talked very openly with the kids about how we could go to the fair an look at the animals and the crafts but we did not have the money to ride rides etc... So they started praying. They crack me up. It warms my heart to know that they know that God cares about if they have fun or not. So anyway with all their hearts they prayed. Within a couple of hours their nana (aka my mom) called with the news she wanted to bless us with a little extra money so we could go to the fair. God is so good! Truly HE amazes me. If I could even list the small prayers (the prayers I thought were insignificant) that He has answered in the past few days. He really amazes me.

At any rate. here is our trip in pics. I am thinking about a trip out there tonight to for some fine art images. We went during the day so nothing was lit up but I think I got some fun stuff.
Hope you enjoy!
