Fairly Fun

E. and I went to the local fair.
She was excited by the double stroller idea and I 
was a little skeptical.

We saw some neat things.

But my favorite part of the event was the train ride.
Oh--the anticipation...

I even got E. excited about the train.

Finally we were in line.


We got seated.

E. loved just being with her Grandpa.

Daddy had to get a picture on his phone...

Mommy got a picture with her camera.

Pulling out of the station.

We got to see and pet the animals.

There were pig races.

More petting.

Some educational demonstrations.

I got to interact with a wallaby.

I got to touch this cool turtle!


There were fat baby pigs to pet.

cute!

E. got over some goat trauma.

Look at those long horns--just what I want on my farm some day.

These sheep seemed a bit needy.



Some nice girl let us pet her horse.

 I got this snazzy engineers hat
and enjoyed smelling some flowers.
It's all fair fun.

Presumed Progress

In September--a moving van left
the only home I have ever known.

Our new house is near a river.

Who doesn't enjoy tossing a few stones into water?

Who doesn't just love hanging out near moving water?

Even E. loves being near the water.

A rare photo of my Mommy and E.


We enjoy water--even if some consider it an
"unguarded flowing liquid death trap".

We realize we may have disrupted some
vacation habits...

E. and Mommy have been trying to find a replacement for a certain country.

Well--maybe other countries will have to be literal
that we visit?
