With happy childhood memories of both the Puallup Fair and the Ohio State Fair, and Booboo's already revealed penchant for a good carousel, both Mr. Tea and I wanted to recreate that same experience for her. Enter: Delaware State Fair. It was farther than we thought, and we didn't get there till after 3pm, but we made it count, with visits to the animals there--I'll admit, I couldn't help but remember the wonderful stables at the Woodstock Farm Animal Refuge, seeing (especially) the pigs and lambs in small metal pens pretty much killed me-- we recovered a bit looking at the cute bunnies, and chicks that had just hatched. Somehow, they were not so tragic. And the rides. Boo loves anything that goes fast, and loves more anything that goes faster! She kept asking, "when I'm older..." I can ride the one that goes upside down/ wicked fast/ really high...we rode the ferris wheel twice, once during the day and once at night, and took tons of pictures. There were just so many great photogenic moments throughout the day. Since we had arrived so late, we ended up staying quite late, and as it was the last day of the fair, we even caught the fireworks display at the end of the evening, on the way to the car. A lovely end to a very fun day.
Album cover, don't you think? (Now we just need the album!)

Yet another bun. (believe me, I'm sparing you most of them. I took about a jazillion.)
Geese!

Great pictures Tova. I like how Cordelia's shoes match the color of the tractor hubs. :) My favorite picture is the one of you and Cordelia.
