From there we dropped my mom off at home and set off for the Earth Fair at Smithville Mansion. It was our 3rd trip to the Earth Fair...and each of those 3 times have been during oppressive heat. Ugh. But we beat the heat a bit by getting there at opening, just before 10:00. We did some of the same things we've done before, such as planting flowers in buckets, feeding animals from Paws farm, creating "Art from Junk" (a personal favorite of Tyler's), nature art projects, bookmarks, etc. We also saw a cute show and Tyler volunteered to participate. There was also a section this year where you'd get a "passport" to have stamped at each of 15 stations. Some kids just went through, waiting to get their passports stamped for the prize at the end, but not my child. Listened to each presentation, participated, inquired, etc. He certainly earned his t-shirt and water bottle! We also planted a cranberry "bog in a cup" and ate some yummy food. Poor Jason was pretty sweaty and miserable though, so after 4 hours (yes, FOUR hours) I convinced Tyler to head on home with all his "treasures".
After a quick stop at Walmart we were home and vegged for a while before heading to the lake for an after-dinner swim.
