I would get up at some ungodly hour to retrieve the paper from the front lawn, and then the guide from within, so I could curl up with it before my siblings awoke and wanted their turn. I think I got nearly as much advance fun from studying the show bag options as I did from the show itself! I must have done this even in the years we didn't go to the show, which goes to show what imagined gratification can do ;)<br /><br />I'm glad you had such a good day out and that you shared with Sylvia the non-edible and non-ride related delights as well as those!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-51000910272555659342013-10-05T09:26:13.643+10:002013-10-05T09:26:13.643+10:00Bahaha!
