To the Fair

We took Alyssa to the fair for the first time last weekend. We had a great time... perfect weather! Allison came with us, but unfortunately I managed not to get any pics of her. We all enjoyed watching Alyssa check out the animals (and people, too... she's a real people watcher!) We had lots to eat including roasted corn, apples, fresh grape and apple cider, Mt. Olive pickles (which Alyssa loved!), fried pickles, peanuts, and my favorites, honey cotton candy and fried twinkies. Yum!

We got to see some of the characters from the PBS shows (including some stand-ups of Curious George, Elmo and other Sesame Street critters) and Alyssa thought it was great. I held a baby chicken for her to touch... she wasn't too sure about that! She was also quite fascinated by the cows. It is funny to think how gigantic they must look to a baby since they are bigger than us as adults. What a shock to see them up close!

Check out the pics!

  2. Thanks, Kris! We have an even better one on Allison's camera if I can ever get it uploaded!

    Alyssa has become such a priss that she lets me put her hair up and put hats and glasses on her! It happened almost over night! She's still not wild about the barrettes, but I think she actually likes the pigtails! Yay!
