Balloons and Fireworks

7:00:00 AM


One great thing about summer, besides the weather, is that there seems to be so much more to do. At least, for me anyway, I'm definitely a warm weather person and would rather be sweating than freezing any day. One of the activities that I attended last, was held in my hometown. It's a festival surrounded mainly around Ribs and Balloons. It's one of those festivals that I grew up going to, seeing the balloons glow and float over the houses. 
Rib Fest
The first few days were a bit cool, but that didn't hold some people back from enjoying the time. By the end of the weekend, we had gorgeous weather, which was great!  

Having run of the table, meant that I saw some pretty funny things throughout the night. Including a goat that kept escaping and (my favorite) a couple who was young at heart and wanted to ride the camel.

There are also a ton of food trucks and different vendors that sell ribs for everyone to enjoy. Though I just got some kettle corn this year, every line was super long, which means the food is delicious!

On Saturday, the last day of the fest, my family met me at my Grandparents house, which is just a short walk from the grounds and we watched the fireworks together. It was beautiful weather, and I had so much fun helping out. I definitely have a lot of funny kid stories just from the couple of hours that I spent there! One kid told his dad he wanted to ride a cantaloupe instead of a camel.

A day with the Dogs

1:00:00 PM



Having the need to cure the boredom that has started to sink in during this Summer, I decided to go to an event. The second to last day of June, there was a Festival. Not just any festival but a Shih Tzu Festival! 

  It was the second annual Shih-Tzu Rescue Festival. If you don't know, a Shih Tzu is a type of dog. That's what Sadie is!
 There were tons of dogs there, being the massive dog lover that I am, I was in heaven! 
The even was heald by the Shih-Tzu Rescue of Central Wisconsin. It's a non-profit organization that saves the lives of abused, abandoned or unwanted Shih-Tzus or Shih-Tzu Mixes. Which is really sad to think of anyone not wanting a dog. They're great, I can't imagine what I would be like without a dog. 
  Since Sadie is black and white, it's really interesting to see all of the different patterns and colors on the dogs! They were so cute! I wish I could have taken one home with me but I already have one. I just don't see Sadie wanting to share her spot on the couch looking out the window. 

They were sooooo sweet! I just wanted to scoop one up and run away with it. 
I really can't tell you how hard it was to not do that! 
They were also selling dog treats, magnets and various other things that I can't remember! They were also grooming dogs, but I couldn't watch for long because the woman doing it was putting sparkles and stickers on the dog and that just didn't feel comfortable to me to even be there. You don't go for a haircut and have your hair person put stickers in your hair do you? Probably not. 
It made me really happy to come home to Sadie though. I just wanted to cuddle her. 
She wasn't feeling the same way though and opted to cuddle her toy under my bed. Party pooper :( . 

It did bring more awareness into my life about organizations like these. Who knows, maybe when I'm older and living in a house of my own I might even rescue one!

Have you ever rescued a dog? My cousins have a rescue dog, kind of, that's a different story. Do you know someone who has rescued a dog? 

Thanks for reading! 
See you next time!
