Another Thing Checked Off My List!

For years now, but especially while I was pregnant I had a "list" of things I wanted to do as a family, and more specifically, pictures that I wanted to have. Things like pictures with the baby on Mother's and Father's Day, a family picture at the Fourth of July parade, pictures with friends and our babies. Sometimes I've made Chris grumpy in my quest to check these pictures off my "list", but then again, anything involving pictures usually makes Chris grumpy!
The most recent picture/thing to do I've checked off my "list" is the community fair where I grew up and where my parents still live. In my memory we've gone almost every year since I was in elementary school, but my mom isn't sure that's right. For several years now my dad has had a photography booth at the fair, so going has become a real family event - helping him set up, keeping him company during the day, helping him take it down. It's always fun to hang out with my family and help out and see old neighbors and friends and fairs are always fun in general. So I couldn't wait to take Lauren! She had a great time looking at everything and see her uncles and grandparents. She skipped a nap she was having so much fun and then crashed on the way home. This was her first time wearing sunglasses and she didn't seem to mind them at all.

 

Hat, check. Sunglasses, check. Binky, check. All set to walk up to the fair!
