Sorehead Trade Days

I took the boys to a nearby town (Stanton) for the quarterly Old Sorehead Trade Days on Saturday. Brandon needed to study for a series of mid-terms and I thought it would be nice for us to get out of the house. We called up a friend of mine and ventured out with 4 kids in tow. Thankfully, all 4 kids were very well behaved and easy to manage the entire time.

The kids enjoyed seeing their Nana who was there selling peanut brittle with her church. Nana gave each of the 3 "older" kids, including Blaine, $1 to splurge on whatever they wanted. Of course, my kids wanted cotton candy which was a major bribe point for me the rest of the day.

The highlight of the morning for the boys was getting to touch a hog nose snake and a giant turtle. They just thought that was the coolest part. They also enjoyed listening to "seasoned" ladies sing hymns and old country songs.

A fun time was had by all!
