We had a surprisingly mild, warm-but-not-hot, start to our weekend here. The reason this was particularly noteworthy was because this past weekend was the annual Spring Festival at my parish, our biggest fundraiser of the year. My family traditionally sits and eats and drinks on Friday night as we torture ourselves by observing our friends and fellow parishioners make fools of themselves at karaoke. Saturday is reserved for more eating, drinking, riding the rides, and listening to a great cover band that comes each year. Sunday is spent working a volunteer shift at one of the booths.
Saturday morning started out extremely breezy with the occasional strong wind blast. Bonnie Lass had just finished eating her Indian fry bread with confectioner's sugar when the paper plate covered with sugar was lifted by a gust of wind. You can see the results of it hitting her square in the forehead.
(Sorry, but no food photos to share this weekend. I can tell you that our appetites were quite satisfied with the gyros, Philippine barbecue pork, brick oven pizza, Indian fry bread, french fries, nachos, and ice cream that were consumed this weekend!)
We took a break during the afternoon to watch The Lass play a basketball doubleheader (one forfeit by the opponents who didn't show up, one heartbreaking defeat due to an opponent's three pointer at the final buzzer). We listened to the band, and then a final pose along the midway as we made our way to the car.
All in all, a wonderfully fun and festive time spent with good friends. Until next year!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Happy Manic Monday :)
What a fun weekend for the family.
Have a terrific day honey. Big hug. :)
I used to like to go to the fair we have here but it has become more of an Inbred-Fest over the years. Cheers!!
Yesterday was in the 90s here, Songbird! Looks like you and your family had a good time! :)
Sounds like a great weekend. Plenty of good food and fun. Powered sugar makes a great hair lightener....
How fun! And Bonnie Lass may start a new fashion hair trend with the powdered sugar look.
That really is the frosted hairdo.
the sugar just found a new confection to adorn. heh heh
All that food sounds wonderful...maybe an extra 5 lbs would be worth eating all of it!!!
That's a funny photo of your daughter with the sugar in her hair. Looks like she's going for the frosted look.
That sounds like SO MUCH FUN!! And powdered sugar - is there anything better? YUM!
I think I made myself sick just reading about your eating adventures!
laughing at Jeff's comment...frosted hair....laughing...
Sounds like a wonderful time :)
I LOVE Gyros!
I have VERY fond memories of those days of "yesteryears" when I, too, attended those nice spring fairs with my niece and nephew and the rest of their family. (ha! ha!)
