They're home.

Turns out they missed the shuttle bus because HSson was picking up a bucket of cookies for me. Which, of course, I appreciate... But sheesh... no phone call???

Let's give the lad some credit here.
Plan to go to State Fair in a boy's mind:
A. go to fair
B. ride all the rides
C. eat junk food
D. buy Mom cookie bucket
E. go back home

notice details like time are not really in that plan BUT buying cookie bucket was on the agenda, right before going back home . . . which is apparently exactly what happened . . . and since alter-parent figures didn't have a copy of HSson's schedule, they cut it too close in going back to catch the shuttle

and you were worried that he wasn't going to remember the cookies :lol_roll:

Actually, I meant a call from the mom who was chaparoning the event. The one who, apparently, thought I would not be at all worried that my eight year old was out until midnight at one of the nation's largest fairs (over an hour later than they told me and over five hours later than the original plan)... So, yeah, I thought that was a little thoughtless of her. Not my son (he's fabulous).

Yay for having friends who live close to the fair! I have that as well. Which makes parking etc. that much easier. :)
