State Fair '09

John Deer tractors...Aid loved them!

Olivia going on rides!

"Dancing": My Godfather (Papa John) does a falconry show at the DNR building every year at the fair (well many many shows every year). He lives in TX so this is our chance to see him yearly. Olivia was very slow to warm up to him, but before his show started she said she wanted to go and dance. I figured she meant right in front of us, but when I put her down she walked very slowly up onto the stage. There was music playing and she stood on the stage and danced, never cracking a smile. It was serious business! Hilarious! When the song ended and she came back to sit with us, the audience all clapped for her!

Aidan & Papa John
She loves her some corn dogs. :)

I mean, if you have a craft to practice, you need to get in rehearsal time whenever possible, even if it's at someone else's show!

Also, what is it with boys and tractors? Isn't he a little young to already know that they're cool?
