Typical day at the state fair...

African Acrobats...

We got to see baby pigs born...A highlight!


Miniature horses...


Playing in a sandbox full of corn...


And sleepy baby...



Oh- and our car breaking down on the freeway on the way home.

Memories- PRICELESS!

She had gotten into my purse and make-up and just did what she sees me do. That evening, she also, stuck her finger down my lipstick wand to squish all the lipstick, got into the laundry soap and scattered it, and got into some ink that I use for the printer and ended up with it all over her hands. CRAZY! Guess I need to give her an earlier nap so she'll go to bed before 9pm...
