Alligator, Frog Legs, Crawfish ... oh my!

Alright, so what did $55 buy you at the North Idaho Fair and Rodeo in Coeur d'Alene this past weekend? As it turns out, not much. Here's the Lovely Family's tally:

• 1 Lemonade (to share)
• 1 kid's sized hotdog, minus the bun
• 1 gyro with too much lettuce and not enough meat
• 2 corn dogs
• 12 tickets for the kiddie rides

Forget the fact that the folks at Huckleberries Online agree that MB is the cutest kid in North Idaho (wink, wink) and we got tickets to get in for free, the Lovely Family is still down $55. Yowza!

I remember the days when I could go the fair with little more than $0.25 in my pocket and walk away with a giant stuffed animal, two dead goldfish, cotton candy, puke on my clothes from all the rides, passing out on Dad's shoulder as he carried me into the house... oh, wait a minute, never mind.

Economies sure do change when YOU'RE the parent.

Needless to say, PrettyGirl came with and I took my weight (don't even ask) in snap shots. I hope you enjoy...

Love your pics of the carousel. What kind of camera do you use?

Sue - I use a Canon Rebel T1i with a 18-55 mm lens. I will be getting a bigger lens soon, and I can't wait!!! Thanks for asking.
