The Last Few Days Of August
Space boots can be romantic
He just wants to be upright
Where the wind blew us
He does and he will
She cheats at staring contests
Honk!
Mwah!
Don't look behind you

Fair On The Mount
Yuula loves fairground meat sticks
So many rides we're too big for
Meeting with her bestie and doing it all again
Laura got me on the zipper. Twice.
And then I was designated driver for the dragon coaster

Christkindlmarkt, Atlonglast
We've been trying to get down to the Christkindlmarkt at Christmas time for a few years, but their schedule is weird, and we are no good at weird.
It was a gloomy day, but it was kind of perfect.
The Steel Stacks are awe-some
Yuula tried to claim her new property
As did Laura
Yuula had a top made just for her
Steel Stacks are Awe-Some
See.
I don't know, but cool
ArtsQuest chairs
Boom! New tradition.

The Summer Ends?
We're forming traditions. The GDS Fair is one of them. Equal parts rusted rides and busted livestock. Plus there's a carney that genuinely believes I'm the guy from The Hangover and for a fleeting moment I get the VIP treatment.
Pregnant lady on the ferris wheel!
How many rides can you squeeze into frame
Not a master at the rope climb yet
She insisted on the pink dragon
Met Susie and Eileen so they could guide us thru the chicken house
Round two, well into the night

A Decent A Fair
After a the girls napped all day, everyone felt much better and a decision was made to go to the fair in Newfoundland.
approaching the gates we could tell this fair was no joke
one of the three rides Yuula met the height requirements for was the bouncy house
at first she was less bouncy and more house
we gave the horseys a go
she held her own this time and even mildly exclaimed "wee" once or twice, tho I don't think the horseys noticed
no?
a fair staple, a delectable classic
more horsey! she exclaimed, but her face doesn't tell that story
the space train went well at first
she lost it somewhere between Saturn and Jupiter (haha get it?)
there has never been a bad photo of a ferris wheel
more bouncy house, this time she's a pro
the sun dropped and the temperature plummeted
watching the world's worst magician
look! hog wrangling children
then we found Eileen
Susie will definitely hate this photo
WCF? you decide...
twilight at the fair
oh look, we're back at the bouncy house
Laura and I went on the Cliff Hanger, kind of cool, round and round on the angle but you get to go head first while you lay on your belly, like a hang glider, very relaxing.
In the time it took us to cliff hang Yuula had fallen asleep in Susie's arms. We decided rather than eat a $9 slice of pizza we'd go to their favorite restaurant, the Hotel, and grab a bite to eat. Yuula colored all of the placemats, including some of the table, and Eileen and Laura ate the biggest burgers I've ever seen. Susie and I were the lightweights. When the music jumped 10 decibels and the barflies started replacing dining folks it was clear the night was coming to an end. Good to see Eileen and Susie finally this summer. We still got a little bit of warm weather left so... we'll see what happens. Yuula was asleep before I could put the car in drive.
