Indian Tacos! Get your Indian Tacos!

Boy does that phrase ever get tiring! We have been working the taco stand a lot since it opened last Thursday at the state fair. We worked the 13th, 14th, 17th, 19th and 20th. We are also going to work today and tomorrow. Needless to say I am exhausted. We also had our grandparents visiting from the 10th to the 16th.

On top of everything else I have school to do and I am not doing a very good job of keeping up. Last week I almost didn't get it done because I had two essays to write and I didn't start them till Saturday! I don't plan to repeat that mistake.

We decided to stay at the fair after we finished working yesterday and the armbands for the rides were on sale so dad decided to buy them for us. There was a log ride and we were just finishing our second go-round and Nat told the attendant to splash me. So what did he do? He picked up a cup and drenched me. I was so mad at Nat. I had even said that I didn't want to get too wet (that's probably why he said it).

Well, I need to go do some school, so goodbye for now.

Indian Tacos

I think I will start out by saying Happy 4th of July, even though it is a little late. Yesterday we went to a parade. We had to get up early to get a good spot to watch but it was worth it. I enjoyed the parade but I would've enjoyed it more if half of it wasn't advertisement. They weren't even very good floats sometimes. There were some, however that I really enjoyed, such as the boy scouts at the beginning of the parade:



And the firetrucks:


And the Star Wars people:

And the lovely horse-drawn carriages:

All in all it was a good parade!

At about 4:00 (after a nice swim) jc, my brother and I all worked an Indian taco stand at a 4th of July festival. Why would we do that you ask? To earn money to go on a choir tour at the end of the year.

It was SO hot inside because the taco shell was what they called "Indian fry bread" and you cook it the same way you cook a funnel cake. Then, the beans were on a big stove so they would stay hot and the heat emitted by the grease and the stove was enormous. However, the tacos were really good!
