Outdoor show

Sat. we went to an outdoor show in Escanaba (the "big" city of 12,000 about 50 miles west).  They had a trout pond, ATVs, RVs boats, and various booths.  I fell in love with the campers. Clara could not get enough of the ATVs.  Nora fished and did a mini golf--it was a fundraiser for "Big Brothers, Big Sisters."  For $1 a person got three golf balls to make a putt, if they dropped it in the hole they won a 12 pack of pepsi.  Nora really wanted to do the golf, so of course we let her.  My first instinct was to help, but then I realized that I didn't want the Pop, well, Nora sunk her third shot!  She was sooooooo excited to win the Pepsi.  The irony is that there was Pepsi in school for a Dr. Suess thing 2 weeks ago, so now she has attached herself to that name--marketing at its finest--get them while they're young.

For all of you reading this wonder what has happened to me letting my kids drink pop, fear not, the Pepsi is in the garage and I talked to Nora's teacher about her not drinking pop.  (Soap box: Can you believe that the entire school got pop, I think even nationally, for "pop a top" (whatever that is) on Dr. Suess' Birthday?  Seriously I could go bananas thinking about marketing unhealthy foods to such young influential children! end of soap box)

Her are some pictures.
