Thursday July 30, 2009

We all slept in today. I got up at 0700 and was all set to drive to D&W to get a DFP when I noted the car was gone. Nancy went to Meijers to get some fruit. The 5 of us have been devouring mucho fruit.

Today we were going to either the Ottawa County Fair or Holland State Park. AC was a little under the weather and so was her mother, VRS. We decided to go to the fair and save the beach until everyone was feeling ok. We took Nancy's new Taurus. It was our first freeway trip and we both thought the ride was comfortable.

The rides were not open when we first got to the fair so we walked through the animal barns. LA seemed to like looking at all the farm animals. For lunch I had an elephant ear and LA had a corn dog. SPS and LA went on nine different rides. I think LA liked the giant slide best. Nancy and I both agree that everyone should attend, at least once, a Midwestern County Fair. Both SPS and LA fell asleep in the car on our way home.

Nancy fixed an Italian dinner. It was great. We spent a quiet evening at home.

Ossineke, MI this date in 1938. It was Saturday and warm with rain from forenoon to 3 PM. Hazel went picking huckleberries at Mikado, 14 quarts. Cousin David arrived home from visiting my grandparents at Hubbard Lake.
