Fair Time

We spent last night at the Indiana State Fair. It was hot and humid, but so much fun. We went last year, too, so it was interesting to see Fiona's reaction to the animals, since last year she was too little to really get into it. She wasn't a huge fan of the animals. I think their size really scared her, which isn't surprising. Some of them were quite large!

Baby piglets. I'm very glad I'm not a sow having to nurse that many children. One was quite enough!

Best friends

Fiona was NOT sure about this duck. She did pet it a little, but it kept moving which didn't sit well with Fiona. I can't remember what kind it is, but it's one that stand upright and looks funny running. It was a beautiful duck, but unnerving for Fiona.

She wouldn't get too close to the pigs either. But they did fascinate her.

More sheep

Mom, that cow is looking at me. Make it stop. Get me out of here!

Miss Independent

I love my yogurt.

I don't need any help, Mom. I'm just going to chew a hole in this end.

I love the look of concentration on her face. She tries SOOO hard.

Mom, really, I can feed myself.

See?

Summer Fun

Bubbles and Baba, what more could one want?

I LOVE my swing! (seriously, she would spend all day there if she could)

And I LOVE my wagon! (She loves that she can open and close the door, climb in and out, and go for rides. She's easy to please)

And I LOVE my slide!

Fiona loves to be outside, whether swinging, going for wagon rides, trying to climb up her slide or just playing in the front yard. It's so much fun watching her explore (and easy entertainment on my part!). She even lets me get some gardening done while she plays (until she wants back in the swing. I haven't yet figured out how to push her on the swing and pull weeds at the same time. I need two of me!)
