It's really just a bunch of tents...

There's been a fair sort of thing going on in Bebek Park this weekend. I took the girls to it on friday after nursery. They were so stoked! As we walked around and looked at all the tents, it became clear that this was less a fair and more just a bunch of random tents. Some were for legit businesses, but others were just people selling their old stuff, garage sale style. It was kinda weird.


After walking around awhile, we headed to the park so the girls could run off all the free sweets they had been given. They were on the swings f-o-r-e-v-e-r. Elsa likes to sit on my lap and swing with me on the big swings. Sadly the big swings aren't really big enough for adults, so I came away with two epic bruises, but it was totally worth it. When we left the park, I decided slushies were in order since the girls had been shockingly well behaved. We make our way over to the tent with the slushie machine, Ruby on my back and Elsa running up ahead overcome with excitement about the slushies. We get there and the guy working the slushie machine is super cute! He sees the girls and comes around from behind the table to talk to Elsa, who gets all flirty and shy and just smiles at him. Sooooo darn cute. He asks what flavor slushies they want and while he's getting theirs, he asks me what flavor I want. I politely decline, saying I'm just gonna steal some from each of the girls. Then he asks if he can make a gift, and since the girls get free things all the time, I smile and say the obligatory, Thank you, that's so sweet. I'm fumbling around in my purse, looking for my money when he asks me again what flavor I want. It's at this point that I realize, the gift isn't for the girls...it's for me! Made my day!!!!! I thanked him again for my free slushy (this time it's me who gets all flirty and shy) and we make our way home, slushies in hand.

The next day NannyKate came over from Asia so we could check out the stalls at the fair thing.


All the fun ones were the crafty ones. There were these super cute pillows that we both super liked, however having an arty aunt, I decided not to get one here and just see if she could make me one when I get home! We also thoroughly enjoyed some of the garge style stalls, complete with dresses that looked like they were stolen from some Florida retirees closet. Down side of going on the weekend, it was SUPER crowded. We didn't last too long before we decided to escape and get some frosty treats at McDonald's. We ordered our milkshakes and went and copped a squat in the park and just sat and talked for a long time. It was a good day!
