Sunday was a very rainy, cool day here.  But around 4:30pm the rain stopped long enough that we were able to head over to the local ‘fair’.  Now I call it a fair but truthfully it is the carnies that set up at the mall and rip you off raise money for a local charity.  Since we drove by it three times while picking stuff up from the hardware store, it seemed only fitting to take J back for a few rides.  We weren’t the only ones trying to cram in some weekend fun at the last minute.  Other families could be found trying to get just one more ride out of the operators.  The most important part is that J had fun.

He would be Mr. Serious as his ride went around, then he would get to me and the camera and he would pull all these silly faces.  It was great.  I finally feel like his silly joking side is breaking free.  He has always been a happy smiling child, but silly has always been reserved for home.  To see it out in public was such a treat.

Even if he was sticking his tongue out at me.

And Apple did well in the stroller watching all the colours and her silly brother fly by her.  Hubby was trying to make her laugh, but all he was getting was the ‘blaaaahhhhh’ screetch she was perfecting.

Here’s to open fair season and lots of rides to come for the summer.
