well, i'm back in arlington. we got back yesterday around 5:30. we had a really nice time :) it was kinda hectic though, because we were trying to fit so much stuff and so much family into only a couple of days. we got there sat evening, around 7-7:30. we immediatly went over to my great-grandma's house so i could see her and dan could meet her. i hadn't seen her since xmas, and she's a really great person, so that was cool. after that we went over to my grandma and pappy's house (mom's mom and stepdad). that's always cool, i'm pretty close to my grandma. then we finally went home!

we got up early sat morning and spent all day at the county fair. it was quite amusing, because even though we went north geographically, we went south as far as culture :) where my mom lives is a very rural area. most of the fair was barns, with cows, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, lamb, sheep... i think that's it :P god, there were so many animals!! there were also a few rides, and i went on a couple kiddie rides with zack :) i love that kid, he's so cute!! we were there till around 4, then went home and ate and went back for the demolition derby. haha, dan was in for a shock. god, he loved it :) that lasted a few hours, with several heats, etc. it was all good fun. it was hilarious though, i was the center of attention at the fair, with my piercings and tattoos. everyone who walked by stared and me wide-eyed. silly hick towns :P

then on monday my mom went to work, and dan and i got up and went and picked up my brother from day care and went to my mom's work for her lunch break. afterwards me, dan, and zack went to mcdonald's, dan's treat :) it was kinda freaky though, everyone was looking at us like we were a family (mom, dad, kid), and i suppose we looked like that. eeeekk! not for a looooong time! anyway, then we kept zack with us for the rest of the day :) i love him, hehe :) and monday night we went over to my pap pap and grandma's (mom's dad and stepmom) because it was his bday. it was nice to see them.

we got up yesterday and left around noon... it was a really nice trip, but its good to be back here doing nothing!!
