I've loved having Thayne around the last few weeks. It's been so much fun to play and spend all day with the love of my life. We've had some funny experiences lately.

Friday night we went to the Palmyra pageant. We were so busy getting Tyson ready and the car packed that we didn't notice we were wearing the same shirt. We noticed when we were about 5 minutes from home. When we got there we noticed a lot of other groups wearing matching shirts. Granted, most of them were about 12 years old.

Buffalo has a lot of fairs and festivals. Usually we don't participate but I really wanted to go to Taste of Buffalo this year. This event consists of restaurants in Buffalo setting up tents in downtown Buffalo. You buy tickets and then go along the street for a couple of blocks and can sample the food. We were slightly disappointed for a couple of reasons. One, most of the food was overpriced. We'd buy $4 of tickets and get a tiny bowl of food. Come on! I can get more food at a restaurant for that price. Thayne and I used to go to Taste of Provo when we lived in Utah. Students could get in for $5. Then you would sample 10 restaurants in two days. So each restaurant was $.50! We went to the first restaurant and get chips, salsa, drink, and a fajita. The second had a buffet. By that time we were full. So we would go to the next couple of restaurants and they would give us food to take home. We were able to eat for 6 meals on the food from Taste of Provo. Sadly, when we got home from Taste of Buffalo we were still hungry. :( The second thing that was disappointing was that it rained on us the whole time.

We parked at the church so that we didn't have to pay for parking. We thought the exercise would do us good (It's over a mile to walk downtown). When we got about half way downtown, it started pouring! I was starving so we kept going. When we arrived at the ticket tent they had stopped selling tickets because of the rain. After a few minutes they opened back up and we were able to purchase tickets but it was still raining and we were worried about Tyson so we hurried and bought food and headed back to the church. Tyson however was quite the trooper. He was soaking wet by the time we got back to the car but never whimpered or whined. I love my baby! Downtown Buffalo has some beautiful architecture. It's so different than the West but it's pretty awesome.
