Pick up a hammer and give it your best!

One of the best parts of the fair is trying all the activities.
You have to be in the proper frame of mind.
You have to WANT the free pencil, Frisbee or fan that is being offered.
You need to be able to laugh at yourself!

You might decide to pound nails and try to set a new speed record
like my oldest daughter and I did
at the Habitat for Humanity Exhibit
or
perhaps answer trivia to win a fantastic book mark
at the Railroad Safety booth!

There is even corn hole to be played and wheels to be spun!
Take your sense of adventure ...
Laughter will likely escape your widely smiling mouth!
Free opportunities to take a break from reality abound!

Swing dancing!

Wow!
I can twirl in my sleep!

Who would have thought that I could swing dance!

...mind you I didn't say I could do it well!...

The photo above actually shows me trying the Electric Slide!

I the one in the blue watching her feet!

I love silly group dances.
My favorite was the "Bingo Waltz" where I was twirled all around a giant circle.

A grin never left my face the whole evening.

I must say that my philosophy of embracing all the innocent fun the world has to offer is certainly helping to start this summer off right!

May your weekend,
your holiday,
be absolutely wonderful.

May you be blessed with good friends,
a smile,
and maybe even...
a Bingo Waltz!

Have a little fun!

Your eyes are NOT deceiving you!

This is a picture of me almost petting a bumble bee!

(Sorry that it is blurry but, it is hard to hold a camera and pet a bee at the same time!)


As the bumble bees in my garden are very satisfied and easy going, I probably wasn't at any real risk of getting hurt.

I will admit it was a little silly!

Sometimes "silly" is fun!

(Just don't try it if you're allergic to bees!)

Jump in mud puddles...

sing to the radio with the windows down...

Enjoy your day!
