State Fair

In early Fall we visited the State Fair.
Highlights included:

1. A show pigeon that Ella named Marshmallow that she became so attached to we had to return to the exhibit to tell her goodbye.

2. Pony rides.

3. A ferris wheel ride just after the rain.

4. And Beauty Queens in the bathroom!



We were washing our hands, and in walked these two lovely young ladies. Ella and Lucy stood there with their mouths hanging open, in complete awe. The Queens were so nice to them and even wanted a picture taken with their camera. I just love that they would do that in a semi-clean State Fair bathroom. It totally made the girls' day.

Dancing Stars

One night while watching the TV program Dancing with the Stars


Lucy: Mom, you should be on this dancing show.

Mom: That would be a lot of fun, but unfortunately I'm not a star.

Lucy: But it's called Dancing WITH the Stars!

Money Market

While we were driving in the car today, Lucy asked.... "money market... what's that!?"  Once again we've entered a time when we're going to have to do a lot of explaining of billboards.

And tonight, Lucy read the evening's story to me (because I still have a bit of a cough). 

She's a smart one, that Lucy.
