Camera Shy

"Mom! Mom! Take picture o' me! Take picture o' me!"

Cooperative

They were so sweet. . .

and Mom was caught with the camera.

Devoted

I love his arm around her, and I love the way she's looking up at him.

Thoughtful

Pets

Why they are called Pocket Pets.

"This is my pet! He's so cute! Look, he likes me!"

Misc. Pictures From The Fair

The carousel is fun; we have experienced this before. The other rides are a little scary.

Yes, you can look manly on a rose-covered horse.

Here's where she realized Mom doesn't go on the rides with her and started her familiar scream, "My mama! My mama!" Gabrian chose to get off the ride too.

But Cameron took him on the next round.

She's very worried but decides to try another ride if she can hold Gabrian's hand.

As soon as it starts moving, she loves it.

She holds onto her big brother every ride.

The big kids went to the rowdier side of the fair (and Andrew disappeared with his friend, Cole, until dinnertime).

Then a tour of the animals.

This is Auntie's new turtle, Raph.

Caramel apples - one of Mom's fair vices (the others are elephant ears and gyros).

Boy, this wagon doesn't hold her like it used to!

She fell asleep while we were in the brain challenge science area. We thought we'd never get Cameron to leave, and she just couldn't take it anymore.

The every-outing-sleeping-in-the-wagon shot.

(We tried to make her a little more comfortable.)

Wiped out!

Labor Day Weekend

Cameron found that Grandma and Grandpa have non-fiction books that he hasn't read yet, and he quickly settled in to wait for fireworks.

Conor quickly found something to do as well. (Wii)

Andrew and Conor don't know that "no wrestling in the living room" is a rule for all places, not just home.

Ariana set about charming her Grandpa,

whose lap was soon overflowing. :)

The kids don't respect the "no birthdays past 30" rule. They want cake!
