They have the best craft booths, the best carnival feel, the best car show, the best food, and the best peach cobbler. We always start at the craft booths because, well, that's the best part next to the food. The very first booth we visited was a sweet little Asian lady who made the most beautiful pressed flower art that we'd ever seen. I wish I had taken some pictures to show you but I'm not sure if she would've appreciated that.
At the end of the day my mom and I did however go back to purchase this sweet little item. She had everything from framed art to key chains, these necklaces, cell phone charms, you name it. She had pictures that showed her working and it was amazing what a pile of pressed flower petals and leaves could create. We did find a ton of booths with the watch bands, you know the beaded ones that you can't blink and not see one walk by. You get the idea. My mom even purchased a couple birthday items for Punkin which included a set of little mermaid scrubs to ware as pajamas and a little wooden doll with Velcro clothes. I'm very excited for her to get those for her birthday at the end of the month. I bought her a bike last month knowing that money would be tight this month. I've gotten creative with the rest of her birthday plans. I have bought her a few outfits from kid to kid that are going to look darling on her. If you've never shopped there, try it. One of the items I got her was a two piece outfit that still had the original tags on it for 6 bucks. Anyway, back to Peach Days. We then went and found some food, my mom and I had a Navajo taco and the girls had hot dogs. Then we went to the rides.
After the rides we went through some more booths and used the porta-potties. As we headed back to the craft booths to make the purchases I mentioned earlier, we stopped and got our dutch oven peach cobbler with ice cream. Then we went back to the food area to by a fried Twinkies and fried Oreos. Yes, you too can gain ten pounds while at Peach Days.Now, when we went camping last weekend my mom tried frying a Twinkie and it wasn't very successful (because she didn't batter it). So we thought we'd try some real carni food. The Twinkie was much better than the one my mom tried to do. It was topped with a berry topping and whipped cream. But, the Oreos were definitely my favorite. Although I could only eat one, it was delicious. I can't say that I'll ever eat one again buy now I can say I have.
We headed home around 8 pm and topped it off by dancing and singing in the truck to the Beatles. Really it was just our attempt to keep Peanut happy because she was soooo tired and cranky. The things you'll do to keep a kid happy.
