FUNNEL CAKES!!!

after consuming all kinds of eats and sweets...it was time to go home...

and we left the fun silhouetted against the sky...



...got a bit overwhelmed cleaning up after supper...kids were ready for bed...and asked Miss Maddy to watch her brother for a minute...lol

well here is what we found when we checked in on her watching him.....
