Day In The Park / Car Show
For once, I remembered to bring my camera when we went to the annual Day in the Park @ the park down the street from our house. This year was a slightly bigger deal b/c 2008 is the 100th anniversary of the city’s incorporation. They have booths, demonstrations, food, music, performances, a petting zoo, and a car show. I had orginally intended to have a booth there (the booths are free!), but The Project That Ate My Life has me too busy for that. There were many other booths with handknit and crocheted items, though. Really, an event like that is not the best place for me b/c my stuff is definitely…higher-end than what was there. Hubby wanted me to take some pictures to show what *was* there so ya’ll could see why, but I didn’t think that would be very nice. Let’s just say that there was a lot of Lion Brand Homespun and a lot of acrylic ponchos, ‘kay?
The really big thing this year was that Thing One wanted to go off by herself to meet her friend, and Hubby convinced me to let her. I was pretty terrified b/c there are thousands of people at this event, but there are also a lot of cops everywhere, and we gave her Hubby’s cell phone and showed her how to call mine. I walked around with my phone in my hand so that I wouldn’t miss a call from her. Hubby swears that I called her five minutes after she left us, but it had to have been at least…seven minutes. After a while, she started calling me every 10 minutes or so. She never found her friend, but she spent a lot of time in the petting zoo, watched the police dog demonstration, and checked out the car show. Boyyyy, cuttin’ them apron strings is HARD!
Here are some of my faves from the car show:
