My Weekend in Instagrams: Indiana State Fair Edition

This weekend was very low-key and rather uneventful. I did wedding makeup on Saturday, which I forgot to take pictures of. Sunday, we went to the Indiana State Fair. The girls loved the county fair so much that we just couldn’t resist taking them again! Here are some of the photos I captured:

Unfortunately, elephant ears aren’t nearly as good as I remembered when I was a kid. We came to the conclusion that anything fried and slathered in sugar must have been much more exciting at age 8.

.

Maybe we should have just went with the Red Velvet Funnel Cake with Cream Cheese?

.

Deep fried everything. Are you trying to kill us here?

.

One of my favorites as a little girl. I’m sure my daughters will love it too. There is just something about girls & carousels.

.

Strawberry Lemonade Shake-up. This was amazing.

.

It’s not a fair without livestock.

.

We tried relentlessly to win the girls a stuffed animal, but to no avail. I mean we all know those things are rigged, right? Well, that’s what we told ourselves.

.

This face means it’s time to go.

.

Until next year…

How was your weekend? Do you enjoy going to your State Fair?

 

 

My Weekend in Instagrams

Shoulder rides on Grandpa. Love this.

.

My Dad made this yummy orange creamsicle cake. If you’ve seen my Dad’s cake creations before, you would understand why he’s the cake boss.

.

Finally sporting all of my bracelets from Mexico. Ever tried to tie a friendship bracelet without a friend? I do not suggest. They’re named that for a reason.

.

A little preview of a trial run I did this weekend. SO gorgeous! Can’t wait for this wedding!

.

Someone got a hold of some chocolate chips and got caught red-handed. Who could get mad at a face like that?!

.

Dinner on the marina at Bella Vita. One of my favorite dinner spots in the summertime.

.

Lots of smooches (and remnants of mommy’s lipstick) <3

What did you do this weekend?

My Weekend in Instagrams

We had friends over and I made balsamic glazed caprese salad skewers for appetizers. So yum and a big hit!

Recipe:

cherry tomatoes

fresh mozzarella marinated in olive oil & spices

fresh basil

Place everything on the skewer. Drizzle with  balsamic glaze (2 tbsp balsamic vinegar & 1 tbsp olive oil). Sprinkle with sea salt & cracked pep.

.

A note I received from a very sweet client. This is what makes my day.

.

Call me Betty Crocker. Yet another food item from this weekend. Brownie Whoopie Pies with Salted Caramel Frosting. I ate ten one too many of these over the weekend. These are bad news.

.

My <3 and I

We took the girls to their first 4-H Fair. As a former 4-H’er this was right up my alley. The girls seemed to really enjoy themselves! Future 4-H’ers, perhaps?
