Mia visited the East Texas State Fair last Sunday evening. Before then, I didn't realize East Texas was a state, but now I know. Anyway, she ate a whole corn dog (a treat which first appeared at the State Fair of Texas in 1942) and drank lemonade before riding two rides.
Left is a photo showing how she looked after eating that corn dog; she is blitzed! How would you feel after eating a treat that was 63 years old?
She rode a horse on the carousel and squealed the entire time, and then she rode on a circus train. I think she used most of her energy watching the people, though, especially the other kids. She really wants to run and play with them!
Above, we are on the carousel. Mia is naturally happy, but she literally squeeled on this ride.
Check out the pi-zissed look on Mia's face after being forced to get off of her horse. She is not a baby with whom one should trifle! I am making zombie-face in the attempt to mimic her.
Here are Stacy and Mia on the circus train ride. Mia was confused because I stood in a curve to get this photo, and by the time she heard my voice, they had passed.
The rhythmic "clank-clank" of the track, combined with the sounds and smells of other children partying like only children can, made Mia a bit...well...dazed...
So, we finally decided that enough was enough (and Mia was too small for any other rides), so we went to the house. Judging from the photo above, Mia had a great time at the fair. She sang and danced in her car seat on the way home, and nothing could disguise the drunken quality that this picture captures.
