I have such a romantic, nostalgic image of the county fair. Every summer I pine for Fern's good old New England carnival and 4H competition.
And although there are no little girls in gingham dresses, the fair never seems to disappoint. The kids, Gigi, and I went to the Parkville Festival yesterday afternoon and delighted in all things carnie. It was a beautiful day for lemonade and a ferris wheel ride.
A view from atop the ferris wheel (taken with my camera phone. Of course my camera battery died very early on).
Gigi and Sophia racing down the slide.
Sophia and Oliver jeeping it.
We didn't get a funnel cake and we passed on all the kitschy crafts, but we had lots of good fun. Maybe next year we'll go later and enjoy the lights, munch on some kettle corn, and listen to some bluegrass.
Wouldn't this dress be just perfect?
When I have a few moments later, I'll post pictures of the treasures I found and inherited yesterday.
