I am a home body and I will be the first to admit it, however there are some times when you just need to get out of town. I am out of school for two days on fall break this week, and I told Trey that we should go to Jackson for the weekend and see my grandparents. It also doesn’t hurt that Puddin has a house down there we can stay in and feel nice and comfortable while we are away from Mayberry.
We spent part of the day with my grandparents and ate at Brent’s Dugs where some of “The Help” was filmed. After lunch the boys napped and I went shopping. Trey promised Ford we would go to the fair when we he woke up.
On the way to the fair…
Feeding the livestock
I would have been completely fine with a little livestock feeding, funnel cake eating, and lovely humanity watching, but Trey thought we needed to buy tickets and ride some rides. A fair is like a casino for kids. You lose tons of money at those places and get nasty.

I even did it too…
How Trey got Ford on the ferris wheel I will never know. I do not ride rides. That funnel cake I thought was a good idea to eat (which it wasn’t) would have been seen again. I waved from the bottom like a good momma would/should.
And then they rode the kiddie roller coaster. It was pretty advanced to be in the kiddie section. I would have been squealing, but Ford was so brave and never made a peep.
On the way home Trey insisted we ride by the Mississippi College School of Law where he attended for 3 years. There were bricks honoring Trey, Pops (John T Lamar, Jr) and Trey’s grandfather, Papa (Leon E Hannaford, Sr).
Painting is always a fun activity… Ford was covered.
The teacher came out in Aunt Ashley and she did an art project with Ford.
And after his “rest” no nap today, I dressed Ford up like Larry!
My wish for tomorrow is that when I wake up it won’t be dark outside. I can’t tell you the last time I woke up when it was light.
