my child has so many picture worthy moments. Of course, isn't that how it always is? Now, you must understand that I am NEVER without my camera, or too far away to get it quickly. On this particular Saturday, we were heading to the Geranium Festival, a yearly occasion that I greatly look forward to. I was packing a small bag, and made the conscious (yet very hesitant) decision to leave the camera because it was kinda heavy & I knew we'd also be lugging bags, a 3 year old, and lots and lots and lots of "festival food". So, I tell myself there aren't any pictures I'll really have to have, right?!
The first thing she wants to do is get her face painted, no picture...well, ok I'll take one later. Then, she decides to be a big girl and ride a pony! Oh.My.Goodness, I was going crazy. This child has an obsession with horses, and wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up (which is comical anyway), but has NEVER been able to muster up the courage to actually ride a pony. She wants to so bad, but when we go to put her on it, a blood curdling scream like you've never heard before erupts and we're done.
This particular day (the day that taught me a huge lesson on leaving the camera) she rode a pony not once, not even twice, but 3 times! Yep, lesson learned, Thanks for the tip!
She also rode a lot of those blow up giant slides, and did a few obstacle courses and had so many photo opportunities of sheer joy and excitement that I'll never be able to share. Sorry!
We wasted no time, however, snapping a few pics as soon as we got home of some of the festival food we brought home, and making wishes on her balloons before letting them go.
It's not the same, but it's better than a boring long story post with no pics...you know you hate those, too ;-)
What can be better than fresh squeezed lemonade & a bag of Kettle Korn as tall as you are? 
As soon as we got home she wanted to "make wishes" on both her balloons!
There it goes...hope her wish comes true!
Evidence of a great day: Face paint peeled off, snow cone juice down shirt & cotton candy for lunch!
