Annual Trip to the State Fair

Here we are all chipper on the fair train awaiting greesy food, sugar, expensive carnival games, animal smells, and kiddy thrill rides. It didn't disappoint. :)


We started off on the food street. This is what Brian came back with at the table. My brother and I however, opted for the giant turkey leg and knawed on it like prehistoric people. Sorry no pictures, it was too gross.

Then off to the rides. Alex was excited that she was tall enough this year.

Double click on this picture and look at Alex's face.... Classic.

All smiles at the beginning......Alex didnt look so good after this one was over.

Both Grandmas decided to take Alex on this thrill ride.

Here is the train ride home....... And we are spent.

Alex first day of Pre-school

Here she is at 8:15am getting ready to hop in that car, having no idea what is in store for her. At this point she has no idea that I am dropping her off to the wolves. - Clearly indicated by smile. She thinks I am going to school with her.


Here we are in the car at the school with a death grip on her friend Quinn's hand in the back of the car. Thanks Quinny for holding Alex's hand on her first day of school!

Here she is after school waiting for me to pick her up. The teachers herd them like cattle and have them sit in front of the building and bring each kid to the car one by one. A very smooth process.
