IT'S ART FAIRS, WITH AN S

Zoe's town is cooler than yours, plain and simple. (Well, except for maybe our Austin subscribers... but they have to deal with scorpions. And Matthew McConaughey. We win.)

While Mommy and Daddy have become typical townies, bemoaning the restaurant-clogging tourists and the turn-M14-into-a-parking-lot traffic they bring with them to visit the annual Art Fairs, we're trying to teach Zoe how to find the silver lining. There's a triple-stitched lining to the Art Fairs: Really talented artists, really good food and really enjoyable people watching. We set off Saturday morning to do each:

Our first stop was the food court. Can't walk around in the heat without a full stomach. We picked up a couple of these terrific creations: Seafood enchilladas. (Photo of food included below in honor of citychicken's exciting announcement.)

Then it was off to see some art. Where else can you spend two hours and see wondrous things, like...

Boobies.

And a butt.

And a rainbow (this artist should have won Best in Show).

And perhaps the finest mullett in all the world.

Ahhhh. Art. Let's be serious... we were there for the food. So we stopped for ice cream.

On the way back to the car, we ran across this guy and a few of his loud-mouthed friends:

I'm not sure where I'll spend eternity, but I hope it's nowhere near him.

Sonja is not trying to get Zoe to grab that butt is she?? And that's a heck of a zoom on the mullet man... you couldn't have been obviously taking his picture.

C'mon...no love for the cultural mecca of Round Lake Beach??? Besides, I can see boobies, butt(total plumber butt) and a better mullet than that on one guy..our neighbor Bruce!! And that's on a daily basis.

Geez. At my house there is a direct correlation between eating ice cream and butt size.....I never have to go to an art fair to see more "butt"...
