Home of the Ham Festival!

What's the Ham Festival if you can't ride a pig?

Marleigh wore this slide out this weekend. She went down it a hundred times!
Last year, she was scared of it! We are making progress!

This past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was spent at our hometown annual Ham Festival. It started Friday morning when Mamaw took Marleigh while I was at school and she won the 4 year old girl tractor pull. She won a ribbon and $3, which she later spent on a fish pond game to win the all-famous horn, that some how got lost before we made it home. I don't know what happened to it. :-) She rode the rides and had a great time with her cousins Hunter, Jay, and Hayden. Then, Friday night Bengi and I took her back to the carnival. Plus, I had been thinking about a chicken gyro all day, so I had to get my fix.
Saturday, we went back with my mom and her dear friend, Retha. We ate, people watched, Marleigh rode more rides, and ate some more. I figured I'm pregnant-this is one weekend no holds bar. This event only comes once a year and I was going to eat like it wasn't coming back for 5 years.
Yes-Sunday, we went back to eat, ride more rides and watch the parade. My husband grew up with this festival and he has gotten tired of it, but I can't seem to get enough. I love the Ham Festival. The food is out of this world. Sorry, I keep talking about food. But, man, it was awesome.
This week we are on fall break. Our plans consist of resting, cleaning and resting some more. I hope to be able to take Marleigh to Chuckie Cheese. Also, we hope to go spend time with family and friends. (Beware-Rhea Anne and Angie-we are coming over) :-)
Hope everyone has a great week. God Bless!
Until next time - Live, Laugh, Love
Tara
