We went to the fair tonight. It was the 69th annual Eagle County Fair and Rodeo, to be exact. We go every year but this was the first time they had the Zipper there. We were so super excited because the zipper is the BEST carnival ride ever. Really... ever. Did we go on? No. All excited and we didn't even go on it. Silly. We did, however, go check out the animal exhibits.... which was semi-entertaining. We watched a cow eat one of its ribbons. Because it looked like a good snack... or, you know, because it's a cow. And, I made friends with a goat. I like goats. We ate bad food and waited for the kids to run out of tickets and we were thrilled to be home before ten. How old are we again?
In other news, Michael came home with a free computer the other day. One of his clients (one that answered the door in her robe mind you) was having a new system installed and when Mike asked her what she wanted to have done with the old one she gave it to him. Awesome, right? Well, yes. Except then we bought a desk. And a chair. And a wireless adapter. And a keyboard/mouse set. And speakers. And we (Mike) rearranged furniture. So our "free" computer cost us quite the little bit of money... and some (of Mike's) backbreaking labor. Still, we have a great semi-new and very adequate system for the boys now. Sweet.

Congrats on the new computer. You bought a Logitech desktop set, right? ;-)
I remember when I was in Santa Barbara and they were talking about this great new ride that was about to come out called "The Zipper." I wasn't actually tall enough to ride it yet, but I eventually dragged my dad on it with me. I'm getting a little queasy just thinking about the experience, actually. *makes face*
Sounds like you've been busy. Sorry Mike had to do all that manual labor, but in the end the boys have their own computer, which keeps them out of your room, so it's all good I'm sure.
