I'm back....

It's still July and it's Harborfest.... the city's big 4 day party, free concerts, trolleys, buses, junk food to eat, midway rides, all kinds of good stuff. party party party. Also, it's Sky's bday, she 7 now. She comes to stay with us for Harborfest, likes being in the middle of it all.

We head out Thurs afternoon under overcast skies, sure enough we're 3 blocks away from home and it starts raining, we hurry to the trolley stop 1/2 a block away, as the trolley gets there, hop on and it takes us back home. On the ride I call the wife, have her find our rain coats, we hop off, the rain stops, we grab our coats and it's off the other way to the park.

After the short walk, past the 911 trailer, blue boys...



her: I'm not using one of those..

me: fine..

her: how about you..

me: if I have to.....

her: yeah me too, if I really have to..

me: k...



.... past the street walking vendors...



her: what are they doing...

me: getting their stuff ready to sell..

her: can I get something..

me: if you want but, you've got that stuff before and it doesn't last now does it...

her: yeah, I have gotten that before and no it doesn't last, only a couple of days..

I'm going to save my money..

Me: good for you..



7 huh



we get ice cream cones, get a table under to big top tent and people watch, if I've taught her anything it's people watching, we're good at it.

While observing the goings on it starts raining again, then pouring. It's raining hard, right past cats and dogs to fish, ducks and frogs.... it's raining..

then the thunder and lighting or is it lighting and thunder.... at first she fine but the school gals start shrieking with the lighting and thunder and she starts getting antsy..

it lets up a little and we head home to dry out and have pizza...

early evening it stops raining but we're done festering for today, people are dropping by, now we're entertaining.... and fri is another day... hey Ant, wheres my beer....



so long for now..
