Tuesday I took the day off work and we went, as a family, to Missouri's state fair.  It was wonderful (HOT, but wonderful).  There is just something about seeing young people (and older ones too), proud of the accomplishments, showing off their hard work and getting to be part of something bigger.  Of course, the highlight of the day was seeing our oldest daughter's poster that was on display.  We were so proud of her and the work she put into it.  All in all it was a great day and we had a ball!!!
