Finger Lickin' Good

I'm a little bit behind in posting this, but I still wanted you to share in the fun...

Over Labor Day weekend, we spent a couple of days in Reno for their Best in the West Rib Fest (or something like that - I'm not sure that's the official name!). We met up with or friends Anna and Keone and Mike and Rachel and ate, ate, and ate for two days. Thousands and thousands of other people also showed up for this street event where award-winning ribs and sauces were sold from booths along with all of the other typical fair food. We had no choice but to try some from several different vendors in order to pick a favorite, and of course Savannah had to try them all too!

We took a break from the heat and the crowds at the big fountain where Savannah would have gotten completely drenched had I let her. (Next year we'll bring a bathing suit!)

That evening, after afternoon naps and dinner (we ATE for two days...) we went bowling along with Anna and Keone.

Can you believe I broke 100 - my best score ever by far! I'm sure I have my "little" good luck charm to thank for that!

Awww, I love hugs! Anna, Savannah's new favorite friend.

And of course, no trip to Reno is complete without a visit to Circus Circus. At least there, unlike the fair, you actually don't have to spend your child's college fund in order to win them a cheap dollar-store stuffed animal. I guess they figure you've probably handed over enough of your money to them playing the big kid games in the casino.

I think Savannah liked the elephants in the entry better than the game area itself!
