The Monday before last was Frost Road's country fair. An annual fund raising event at Kerry and Callie's school. Last year the weather was absolutely perfect but this spring has been much more dreary with only 3 days above 20 degrees. It was originally scheduled for Friday but they had carnival rides coming and the weather forecast wasn't looking very good so the decision was made to postpone to Monday. That looked like a good decision at the time but by Monday the weather was looking to be very similar. In the end Mother Nature was kind and it stayed dry for the whole event.
The highlight for Carter these past two years has been the ponies. He's quick to want to stand in line and is very excited right up to the point where he needs to get on the horse. It takes a bit of coaxing but once he's on he has a blast. The family highlight each year is the cake walk. We always get at least three or four squares and considering there are only twelve squares total you'd think we'd have a good chance. No luck so far and we were especially upset when one of Callie's best friends ended up winning twice. (She got cupcakes and shared her second win which softened the blow.)
The icing on the cake so to speak for the past two years has been Kerry's participation in the Pie Eating Contest. The excitement starts early in the week with the whole school getting behind their favourite teachers and predicting a winner. Last year the Vice Principle won but this year Kerry had a 'special' technique that proved very successful. She's now the defending champion and is probably still trying to get whipped cream out of her hair.
