So I told a fib. After Dlo got back from the bridal shower we decided to hit Black Gold one last time to enjoy a few things we won't see for another year or so. After showering, changing, and packing the car we took the five minute ride down the road. First things first, we dove into some funnel cake. I don't care if it's bad for you, I only see it once a year and it's sooo good. There were some guys doing a raffle and they wanted Liam to try to pull a name out of a box. Unfortunately, he was way too bashful to do so. It was really cute to see him being so bashful, especially because I know he really isn't in most other situations. I took him up to play in the cockpit of the big bulldozer afterwards because he really enjoys being in there. He did manage to unlock one of the windows, however, so our stay in the cockpit was relatively short. I really wanted to put him in one of the smaller ones like yesterday, but unfortunately they were all locked up.
On our way in we saw lots of kids with bubble guns. We made it our mission to find one for Liam. We found the booth that was selling them, and wow were they making some huge profit off of it. It looks like it's about a buck fifty worth of plastic, electronic parts, bubbles, and batteries. They sold them for eight bucks a pop. However, watching Liam was worth the extra money. He managed to empty the entire bottle of bubbles in about ten minutes. Bubbles on everyone, and everything, especially himself and Britain.
He did pick an opportune time to run out of bubbles. One of the main reasons for coming back out tonight was to ride the "choo choo train." Tonight's ride was a tad more exciting than last night's. We actually got to ride through the people as opposed to doing circle in the parking lots behind the commotion. Liam seemed to really enjoy it both times, however, and that's all that matters. I personally had a better time tonight though, and I'm not quite sure why.
After the train ride Dlo found some people she hadn't seen in some time and felt the need to catch up on gossip. Liam was getting antsy so I put the puppy leash on him and we went walking. He watched a lot of the games that people played. We came across a toy booth where we picked up a little truck that makes noises and lights up when you press it down. For a dollar, it really couldn't be beat. After a quick stop at the Olan Mills tent (twenty bucks later...but apparently I got a really good deal, we shall see) Liam and I attempted to try picking up the ducks again. However, he was not interested, so Aunt Bobbi Jo to the rescue. She ended up winning Liam and inflatable dolphin that I"m fairly certain Liam gave to his sister.
We quickly made an escape from the laden filled streets of Hazard to pick up dinner at a join called France's. The food was decent, the service sucked, an Liam had a blast watching Pac-Woman and watching me knock pool balls into the approprrate.
