I have to share Colleen's art project from school yesterday. It was an awesome present for dad. First was a brown paper bag with a tie on it and there was an info sheet. The sheet was filled out by Colleen all about dad and was really cute.

There are some classics in there - you can click on picture to enlarge and read. I am 13 years old! I am great at watching TV. And I like to cook meat and cookies. One day I will cook meat and cookies and bring out this sheet to show her when she thinks I am crazy for serving that - HA!

Next, I got to open the bag up and inside was a rock that Colleen painted for me. It was very sweet.

What a great present!

Colleen had her adenoidectomy on Friday and is doing great. She was a real trouper and super brave.

She got special jams pre-op

And a Popsicle in post-op

She came out of the OR sitting up, eating her Popsicle, riding her gurney like Queen Nefertiti.

She got a special ice cream cone at McDonald's afterwards too :)

A few pics of Colleen from yesterday:

Colleen decided to wear this for the day.

Doesn't she look fancy.

Dad got to meet her for lunch at the mall along with Ryan and Mom. Here she is doing a twirl in the outdoor food court.

And she got a gelato treat!

YUM!

We went to the San Diego County Fair today. It was a blast...we all had a good time.

Fair fare review:

We ate a ton (as expected) and everything was delicious. We had a southwestern grilled cheese w/ pepperjack, avacado, and tomato. We also had a monte cristo - which was good - but almost identical to the ones we make at home and our jam (Trader Joe's) is better. We also had a toffee ice cream cup that was amazing. Even better than Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch! and that is saying a lot. Colleen had a cupcake that looked delicious and Ryan ate a one pound turkey leg wrapped in bacon (just kiddin' - checking if you read this far down:)

However, the best dish - hands down - was the cheesy bacon bombs. They said it was most popular and people would come back 3 or 4 times for more. We almost did except we wanted to sample other things. They were amazing! It was a jalapeno cheese coated in a little breading/panko and wrapped in bacon and deep fried.

Now on to pics from the fair:

On the way...Colleen really wanted to ride bus "next to her brother"

He looks pretty excited too!

We saw some pretty cute llamas all groomed like poodles...kind of funny.

Colleen got to ride a pony again this year.

Video of Colleen riding the pony:

And we looked at some animals and pet some lambs and goats.

Then she rode a lion on the carousel.

She and dad rode a caterpillar roller coaster and our little adrenaline junkie was yelling "Whoo-hoo" the whole time! - but we didn't get any pictures of that...
