What a Lovely Day!!

This past weekend was our town's annual winter fest street fair. The weather was just perfect, a breezy 75 degrees. The boys and I headed down around 10:45 and did not get home until almost 4 pm. We had a blast. At the Arizona Park Ranger booth the boys were able to make a few neat crafts and see skulls from a number of animals found in the desert. They were able to feel the pelts of a number of those animals as well. They especially liked the claws that were still attached to a number of the pelts. I purchased a few crafty type items but mostly just browsed and "window shopped". The boys really made out and were able to do almost all the activities this year. My pocketbook took a hit but it was worth it. They rode the mechanical bull, went on the big blow up slides and obstacle course, rode the train, and jumped on the jumpy thing where you are strapped to a bunch of bungee cords. They were both beat by the time we got back to the car. I am really sunburned on the back of my neck and cheeks but the boys only got a touch of pink. I guess Spring is already here and I need to pull out the sunscreen again.

On a different topic, I am unable to post pictures via the little icon on the new post page. It will simply not let me. I cannot figure out why and it is driving me crazy. The only way I can get a picture to show up is by using my Picasa program and then it posts every picture as a new post. I am determined to fix that! I would really like to be able to include the pictures in the post. If anyone is able to help me on this, I would greatly appreciate it!!
