state fair

last week we went to the fair. it was fun, just the three of us. our first goal was to get eli his first taste of cotton candy. it wasn't as exciting as we though it would be. he wasn't interested at first so mike had to take the lead. i'm sure we looked like crazies forcing our child to eat straight sugar in a fun cloud form, so we could laugh and take pictures.

at first he would only eat it if mike fed it to him.

then we finally got him to hold it, but he still needed a little nudge to actually eat it himself.

moment of truth. we got a tiny bite from him. then he would just hold it in his hand and it started melting and getting sticky everywhere. needless to say we just fed him from then on. that stuff is annoyingly sticky.





he loved loved loved the car rides. i was sure he would be scared, but as soon as they started up he was all smiles.


oh i just thought i'd throw this picture in for kicks. let's analyze shall we? my eyes are closed, i'm not even looking in the direction of the camera, eli's attention is directed to something much more interesting, and the shadow covering my whole body. can you guess the photographer? yep, the same genius who took this prize winner. thanks hun.
