This Weekend, I...v.9.24.12

Here's to Syndal and Sarah for a new Monday link-up! And here we go....

This weekend, I went to the Puyallup Fair with my sweetheart, and he surprised me by wearing jeans! This might not seem all that exciting, but it's a big deal when he wears anything but his zip-off Columbia convertible pants. When he retired four years ago, we bought him a pair for hiking. They were so comfortable he bought two or three more pairs, and now he wears them year-round. So it's a pretty big deal if he wears anything else!

I think he looks skinny in jeans!

This weekend, I almost didn't make it into the Puyallup Fair. Who knew they had a height requirement? Well, not really. After he took the picture, my husband commented on how short I am. Yeah, sure...like I've been tall all along?

Must be THIS tall to enter!

This weekend, I noticed my husband look longingly at that carnival ride that FLINGS you up in the air on a huge bungy corded swing thingy. He mentioned that he wished our daughter was there to go on the ride with him. Me, too!

Looks like fun...NOT!

This weekend, I went to a concert at the fair. We saw Andy Grammer, Mat Kearney and Train. What a great show! We had wonderful seats, too. We enjoyed both opening acts immensely, and Train put on a fantastic concert. At the end of the evening, Pat Monahan (lead singer for Train) called a nine- or ten-year-old girl to the stage after he noticed her singing along to all of the songs. (Apparently, he does this at every show.) He presented the little girl with a signed guitar, and encouraged her to learn to play and perform, and then to pass her love of music along to someone else. What a great idea, and a great way to end the show!

Loved the light show at the Train concert

Hope your weekend was full of fun activities, too!

  3. eek I would NOT go on that slingshot "ride" thing either! I don't think it's healthy to be that terrified.
