State Fair report
We spent 6 hours at the fair - the longest we have ever spent! The whole
time that I was walking, I was either pulling a wagon with 2 or 3 kids, or trying to run to keep up with DH, who took turns pulling the wagon! I conservatively figured 210 minutes of walking, not counting time spent waiting for kids on rides, or eating lunch. I ate: 1 1/2 pieces of fudge - 4 pts (who knew that was so high?) 1/3 stick cotton candy - 1 pt bite of elephant ear (about cookie size) 2 pts (guessing here) 1 1/2 ears corn with butter 3 pts french fries (just a few) 2.5 for a total Fair intake of 12.5. and output of 8 activity points. Not a bad trade off! We all had an absolutely marvelous time! Even if my quilts didn't win any ribbons. :-( -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply |

I forgot to mention that I went in the Fun House with the kids, and it was
great! I could climb the wonky stairs, and go through the padded poles, and even went down the curly slide! I asked the guy at the top of the slide if I was too big to go down (meaning, I'm a full-grown adult, not a kid). He put his arm around my waist, gave me a squeeze and said "no, you're just right"! Ooo-la-la! What a nice ego boost! ;-D -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply |

Pulling a few kids in a wagon can be a great workout, especially if some of it is uphill!

Not a bad trade off! Congratulations on controlling the intake of fair food. It can be a difficult challenge! Especially the french fries and cotton candy! We all had an absolutely marvelous time! Even if my quilts didn't win any ribbons. :-( Glad you had a good time Wendy. Nice way to spend quality time with the kids and DH. My DH isn't into things like this at all, even when he is well. I do this type stuff with other members of my family though (parents, brothers, sister, nieces and nephews). We always have lots of fun! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply |
