Life is Fair

This year’s trip to the Oregon State Fair was probably our best ever. As Miss B matures, she can celebrate the creations that show up in the Jackson Long building as well as the photography display. We heard a few less “can we go now, this is boring” this year. Miss K, on the other hand, was all about the rides; she wanted to go back to the rides over and over.
Until we saw the Emperor’s New Clothes put on by the Enchanted Forest folks. Even Miss K thought it was hilarious; I don’t know how much she was reacting to the story and how much she was laughing at the slapstick, but she went from writhing and screaming that she wanted to go on more rides and back to the bounce house to squealing with laughter with her hands held over her mouth in a matter of moments.
The weather was terrific and I worked hard to put my normal daily stressors on hold. I spent extra money on renting a stroller (from the girl scouts, for $2/hour) and buying a disposable camera. The only thing that could have been better was if I had thought to charge the damn camera battery.
