Wow, a busy day with family.
I spent most of the day craft shopping with Angela’s family, including lunch at a Japanese hibachi style restaurant. Angela got an iPod touch, so we spent time setting it up too!
We had our now traditional Friday night dinner with my brother and his wife and Angela.
Then Benjamin and I decided at the last minute to go to the free MC Hammer concert at the fair. We got there as he was finishing the 1st song. I took some videos and will upload them.
Today, we went to the KY State Fair. It’s our family tradition. Ever since I graduated from high school, I have been able to go. Elementary and High School always started the same week and I wasn’t always able to go, but for about the last 10 years, I have been able to go. There’s normally about 10 to 12 of us.
We got there around 8:30 and I stayed until 5. It’s a long, but fun day. Here’s one of the group pictures.
All 6 of us that entered something, got a ribbon! I got a 2nd place on my bag.
Cupcakes

Here is a better image of the cupcakes. I took a dozen to work today to celebrate a co-workers birthday and I brought the other dozen to a family gathering tonight.
My step mom came to town from Arizona and the whole family is going to the State Fair tomorrow!
I got home from work, the gym, and a local group meet-up around 8:45 tonight and I STILL had to make icing ad ice the cupcakes for work tomorrow.
Thank goodness I baked them last night. I made the icing from scratch (butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla) although I had a can on reserve in case something happened.
They turned out okay. I really need to practice icing them.
They are for a co-workers birthday!
