Swap Meet

Since we went camping last weekend, we decided that we would spend this weekend hanging out at home. The girls had Friday off this week, for "staff development day", and by Sunday we were all a little stir crazy. So we decided to go to a swap meet across town that we heard was pretty cool. It was HUGE! Ady was a little confused - everyone spoke Spanish, almost all the signs were in Spanish, and there were Spanish bands playing. She thought that we were in Mexico. It reminded her of Juarez and Nogales. It really was pretty similar to the border towns we have been too - except there was not a pharmacy or dentist every few feet. We just kind of wandered around for a couple of hours - they had some interesting booths - everything from clothes and shoes to dogs (chihuahuas) and parrots to fruit and nuts. There was even a clown and a cute little monkey in a dress that would take change out of the kids' hands. The only thing we ended up buying was some pistachios that Brian wanted - which I really questioned the safety of. The stands did look all that sanitary. But I didn't eat them - and so far Brian isn't sick. Overall, we had a fun time and it was nice to get out of the house!
