catching up

Okay, I've uploaded the latest batch of photos and video so I'll start with earliest. Tyler and Josh playing Rockband for your entertainment.



While that is loading, the concert last night was awesome. Chris Isaak and his band jammed through songs and he kept up his usual banter with the audience which always makes the show great. He even played several songs that are new and will be on their next album. As usual the show was filled with women of all ages along with their significant others screaming and having a good time. Our seats were excellent, the best we've ever had at the Pacific Amphitheatre thanks to presale tickets. Hey, we got our $37.50 and more. What's great too is that if you buy a T-shirt or CD, Chris will sign it after the show. :)


Now the fair was lots of fun too. We didn't far into the gates when we stopped and loaded up on fair merchandise. Normally I skip all that but this year's theme is Say Cheese so you know I couldn't pass that up. I bought a zip up hoodie and T-shirts for the kids so we're set. Okay so we're done shopping, walk another 20 feet...hmmm, bbq corn! That's what I want. Oh yeah and something to drink, walk another 5 feet to get our souvenir cups. We're having a great time, looking at the food stations, noting where things are at and at the new ones. Okay we're ready for the midway so Kat can win her annual stuffed animal. We make the circuit and finally she spots a Jabberjaw shark she wants and it's a game she likes too. The water gun shooting at the target and the 1st place wins a huge prize. Then we notice, hey, no cash only tickets. Bummer, everything is by tickets so she buys a 100 ticket card for $50. The game is 10 tickets ($5) so she tries....4 times before she finally wins. Phew! She was very happy with her shark.


See, he loves her too! :)

We strolled the craft building to see Kat's entry this year. This is her teddy bear collection and she selected 5...her Mountie Bear, Beefeater bear etc. All very cute and unique so she was a little (okay, lot) put out that she got an Honorable Mention. What does that mean? She asked an attendant and it's pretty much tthe top 5. Oh well. There was also lots of knit and crochet items and Kat was saying how I should enter next time. Hmmm... maybe I will.

I'll post pics and video of Chris Isaak next time so have a good week.
