Crazy Days

Why do they call it crazy days? Is it because your crazy if you waste your time going. At least that seems to be the case in our Podunk town. I was impressed that they seemed to have more activities going on then they normally do. "Arts in the Park" was a sad sight. It took all of 10 minutes to walk through. Our community needs to do more. I can remember when that park was packed. Ho-hum.

My sis-n-law, her mom and I were all looking for the same thing. We all want one of those wood signs that you put your names on and hang on your house. Does no one make these anymore? May be it is a well kept secret. I didn't even see any at the Brookings arts festival. If someone knows the secret, please fill me in!!

My brothers clan and his in-laws were camping out at the lake this weekend. They invited Colter and I out for supper. They also invited Bobbie and her clan. Bobbie is a friend of Stacy (sis-n-law) and me. We all worked at the same "Benny's Biffies" of a factory back in the day. Good times. I had a good time. I think Colter did too.

I snapped a few pictures of Colter and my nephew, (his cousin) Chase. Chase is 11 months older than Colter. Colter + Chase + in the future= massive headaches for their moms.

Hey Chase, over here!

Stop touching each other and look over here.

Finally! I guess turtle man will have to do, because this is the best I am going to get.

I miss Crazy Days and Arts in the Park!! They don't do those kinds of things in Florida...at least not that I know of. But I have heard that Crazy Days and Arts in the Park from my hometown in SD has dwindled considerably over the years, too. Too bad.

I didn't go to Crazy Days or Arts in the Park. I heard it's kind of a sad sight so I thought I would just stay home and can a ton of corn :)!

Cute pictures of the boys!! Sounds like you had a nice weekend!!

Have a GREAT day!

We went to Crazy Days and Dawson asked why they call it "Crazy Days" Mark said because you have to be CRAZY to go. Nice...

I agree...it wasn't all that I remember it being. Although they did have the inflatable jumping thing for the kids this year.

I usually get stuff from DSU. They mark their stuff 60-70% off. I am always up for new sweatshirts.

Cute pics of the boys!!

Yes, I agree, crazy days and the arts in the park were sad. You would think that a town the size of Madison could get something big together. They don't get something better going.

Cute pictures. Yes, trouble later!! LOL..
