Proxy Party Cont'd

Sunday morning began with preparations to go to the Medieval Faire in Norman. I wanted to see a bagpipe band that i've been casually following since 1999. We arrived just in time to see them and walk around a wee bit to see the eccentricasies known only to the modern "Medaeval Faiere". I'm convinced that every fat chick in the metro counties pushed themselves away from their monogrammed padded seats at the nearest KFC/Taco Bell buffet,wiped most of the gravy and queso off their multiple chins, poured themselves into the tightest spandex clothes (usually black) they could find at the local army surplus (not unlike the way three day old bacon grease slides into a gallon size milk jug), and rolled on over to the Fair to see what new deep fried butter-on-a-stick creation the carneys came up with this year. But wait! Before we hit the corn battered heavy cream infused lard pop stand for the fifth time, lets get a henna tattoo!!! Sometimes i wonder if the "artist" feels more like a cartographer. I was even unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a woman at least in her 38th week of pregnancy in a bellydance group, yeah, the old proverbial "Like watching a train wreck" came to mind.

We did have an enjoyable time nonetheless, and found this hat stand where the kids hornswoggled Papa to part with some dead presidents. Even the king got into it, no i didn't bring it home. The Rogues were good, but i've seen them in better form. Looking forward to seeing them and much more talent at the Texas Scottish Festival in June. After the show, we decided that we had seen enough cottage cheese bulging expandex and quietly left the herd to feed. With that in mind we made our way to safer quarters at, yep, you guessed it, if we're in Norman, we go to Red Robin! Need i say more...no, pictures will suffice

The rest of the day was pretty laid back. When we got home, naps and some yardwork. Nothing spectacular.

All in all, we had a great weekend with Papa and Reece, albeit always too short. We always enjoy them coming down, hopefully soon, Honey will be able to make the trip more frequently, we sure miss her not coming (that's actually just a ploy to get her to comment, though we really do miss her). We are excited that Auntie Dani and Rylee will be coming down in June, of course it will be Reece's second tour and he'll be able to show Rylee the way the rednecks live.
