Deerfield Fair

L to R: Nanna, Katie, Louisa, Doobe, Monet, Heather, Teelin is asleep in the stroller.

We avoided the rain at the fair this year some how and after missing it last year because Teelin was only a few weeks old it was GREAT to enjoy it as a family of four. A couple Steak-n-Cheeses, a fried dough, some french fries, root beer in the tin up, ice cream cones, a chocolate glazed donut and cinnamon cashews pretty much will hold us over until next year!

Teelin wasn't so sure where we were taking him at first, but we had him at the cows and with his first taste of fried dough!

Maria didn't want to wait for her pony ride, so she was a happy camper when her turn finally came around!!!

Teelin on the Merry-go-round with me....and no straps...what the heck?!? Why do they do that to parents?

After a half dozen shots there was no way of getting them all looking at us at the same time! Two out of three isn't too bad. This is the annual shot we try to get with Michelle and her family. Paul was in California this year :(

Daddy Doob sported the backpack for hours on Friday...Teelin was grateful for the fine view!

Big Pumpkins!!!

A ride on the bumble bees was way more fun that I thought!!! You could make him go high or low and Monet of course wanted to be up in the sky the whole time. :)

Monet's painting is the one in the wide frame with the orange background.

And she got a BLUE RIBBON on her painting we put in for her! Here she is seeing it for the first time. We didn't explain the the significance of the color of the ribbon (not necessary) just made her feel special to get a ribbon and see her painting hung with all the other children's.
