A Photo Montage of Fun Fair 2010

Noah playing Plinko - yes, he's back there somewhere.

Travis playing basketball

Uh -- this is Travis going down the slide. I was too slow with the camera. You can see Noah heading for the steps in the middle. I learned my lesson this time, though, yessirree, I'll get a good picture the second time around.....

Nope. Too quick on the trigger this time. Those are Noah's shoes getting ready to make their way down.

Sophie's favorite part of the Fun Fair -- eating.

Noah

Travis cheesing for the camera.

Okay -- not nearly as cheesy as Dad.

And here's me.

More eating....cake this time.

Eat some cake, ma!

Of COURSE I'll have some cake!!

Swoop shows up at the fun fair! Travis and Noah are crowding to get a closer look. Travis loves Swoop. Noah's a little unsure.

Sophie's not unsure at all. This is right up her alley.

Sophie trying to give Swoop a hug. Travis trying to help.

Noah got a little shy. I absolutely love this picture, because, even though Swoop's facial expression is perpetual and unchangeable, it totally looks like he's thinking, "Gee. Wonder what's wrong with that kid?"

Travis going through the obstacle course.

He made it all the way through! Tougher than you might think. Can't you just see the pride on his face??

Bean bag toss

Noah's turn. This was his "starting" position, then he inched closer and closer as he extended his arm, until he was essentially dropping it into the hole. Hey, whatever works.

Please let me out of the blasted stroller? PLEASE?!??!!!?

Finally. Thank you.

The boys LOVED the cake walk. They did it probably ten times. Noah even won us a plate of chocolate chip cookies!

Showing off his loot. Hey, he worked HARD for that!! He walked in a circle, like, a bunch of times!

Travis getting in on the action. You should have seen him when Noah won the cake walk. They were standing on consecutive numbers, so Travis was right next to him. I wondered if he might be disappointed that he didn't win. Oh, no, my friends, quite the opposite. He was jumping up and down and giving Noah high-fives. And that was before he realized that cookies came with the deal.

Okay, I love this picture, because, well, who couldn't love this picture?? This sums up our Fun Fair afternoon quite well.
