The Fair - Day Three
Yay! The cousins are here! Emma got to ride everything all over again with her cousins. She had a fabulous time. Her cousins took the job of looking after her very seriously. We finally let Emma go through the playhouse since she did have some guardians. Turns out she needed them. It was impossible for her to get from the ball pit to the rope ramp without their help. It was somewhat comic, watching poor M try to heave Emma from the ball pit onto the rope ramp. It was quite an undertaking. M gave it her all every time. Usually little J was trying to help too. Sometimes even passersby would pitch in...

Here she fell down and was being swallowed by the balls. While she's panicking they're trying to help her up. Do you think the trauma slowed her down? How long have you been reading this blog anyway?


Little M is trying to get Emma over the balls onto the rope part where she can get a grip.


Success means a trip across the bouncy bridge. They only went through this thing about ten times.


Emma and Little J do the Go Go Gators Uncle B style!

Later in the evening Emma takes a popcorn break.


The visiting crew went home around 9:15 p.m. We stayed on and played for another hour. We had to call it quits when Emma sprung a leak in her diaper. We headed back to Grandma's house, which is close to fairground/school grounds. From there we were able to watch the fireworks show at 10:30 p.m. For a good half of it Emma kept asking to go inside. The noise from the fireworks really reverberated through the valley and I'm sure it sounded scary. Daddy held her off and she finally forgot the urge to flee and enjoyed the show. My head hit the pillow at midnight and I don't know that I've ever felt so dead.
