Venetian!

Seriously....I've been off the blog scene for a month. The time flies!

Anyhoo, in recent activity....the Venetian Festival was here again, a yearly event in St. Joseph. Like a carnival I'd say, crappy (but oh so delicious) food around every corner, lemonade stands, LOOOTTTS of people, and the fairgrounds down by the pier, topped off of course with amazing fireworks Saturday night- usually better than 4th of July. Let me tell you- we've lived here for 4+ years now and I have YET to walk down and be IN with the Venentians- don't even know what that means. But we were there! Joe and Susie went along on Friday night and the kids rode some of the rides. We ate a funnel cake and an elephant ear. Verdict= funnel cake won the first night, and the elephant ear was better than the FunCake the second night. Probably just depends on who's making it- since there were about 15 funnel cake vendors.

As for the rides! the boys loved them...which was to be expected. And I was actually expecting more of a melt down when the tickets ran out, but maybe they were over-stimulated enough and ready to go home. HA! I know I was!!





And after going back Saturday evening without the kids- I am SO thankful that we went Friday night, way less people and no lines for the rides...and 1/10th the teenyboppers roaming around without their parents. haa. We've been busy with lots of things the last few weeks...August is just around the corner, then after Labor day the boys will start preschool! OH MAN! We better live it up the next 6 weeks- it's gonna go fast!

Looks like a good time! I vote elephant ears for sure. Was that where we went last year with the art tents? Gma Rita

Sounds like fun! Can't believe they will be starting pre-school soon, you will be so bored!
