Hangin' at the Fair

Mom and Robert took the three of us to the Elkhart County Fair over the weekend. We got to see some animals, ride some carny rides, and eat some deep fried fair food. Scroll down to take the photo tour...

Checking out some animals.



Looks like it could rain...


Grammy says, "Let's try the duck pond!"


Hmmm...which one should I pick?


This looks like a good one.


Winner!


Cool prize! Boston loves balloons.


Wow. That looks fun!


My first carnival ride.



Grammy won some stuffed animals from the crane.


Boston and I went through the fun house. He thought the vibrating floor was pretty cool, but didn't like the air shooting at us. The slide at the end made up for it, though.


This was probably Boston's favorite part of the entire day. I was a little nervous putting him on the train by himself, but he sat still with his arm on the little arm rest the entire time.





When he got off the ride we asked him, "Boston, did you ride the train!?!" He was pretty proud of himself.


Look at the scary animals!






Time for lunch. Boston ate a bunch of our cheesy spiral potatoes and then stole some of Robert's pizza.


After lunch time comes nap time.


Maybe next year we will be brave enough for goat jerky or gator on a stick.

Having a Good Time

As we move on into July the three of us are still taking the summer one day at a time. It's pretty nice. The days Cara doesn't have to work we get up and say, "What should we do today?" and play it by ear. The days Cara does have to work Boston and I either hang in the backyard or see what Grandpa is doing. Boston got a couple more molars in last week, so he was a bit snotty and slobbery. We had lunch today with Grandma and Grandpa Kuhnle and Boston stunk up the joint and ruined his outfit with a monster poop. Other than an occasional bodily fluid mishap, this are running smoothly. Cara is still plugging away at her Masters, and I have been chipping away at some lesson plans. As of today, school is officially one month away. As great as the summer has been, I am looking forward to going back with the renovations that are going on at Carroll. I will have a brand new room with 32 student computers, LCD projector, and, probably the thing I am most excited about, a coat hanger. Last year I had to hang my coat on the key that stuck out of my filing cabinet. It feels great to move on up in the world. We hope all is well, and feel free to stop by any time. Boston sends his kisses!
