Fun at the Fair

Tonight I helped Gabrielle initiate Alaya into the world of carnivals at the Bluffton Street Fair. First, I had to get a picture of the three of us with our quirky t-shirts. From left to right they say: "Where's my prince charming?" (Alaya's), "I thought you were hot from far away" (Gab's), and "In tennis love means zero" (mine). It made me laugh!

And of course, like any child would, she loved the fair. I'm happy to report that she enjoyed my favorite carnival game, the mouse game, as much as I do. She was a natural gambler and wanted those quarters to keep coming. She caught on very quickly how to place them on the numbers. She actually rode a car-type roller coaster, too. Pretty impressive for not quite 2 years old!

The one thing that I wanted to do was eat some fair food. I walked around all night looking for just what I wanted. Finally around 10:30 I decided on something...an ice cream cone! How boring! So, on the way out I got a hand-dipped corn dog. That's slightly better. Maybe next weekend at another fair...
