A friend mentioned that there was a fair in Wake Forest last week. Mark loves carnival rides. We decided to be implusive. Jessica had a wonderful nap from 3 - 5:30pm so we were all set for an evening of spontaneous fun when Mark got home around 6.
It's more than obvious that Jessica inherited her father's sense of adventure rather than my skittish nature. She wanted to ride EVERYTHING. Mark spent far more on ride tickets than I've ever even considered spending at a fair. A generous lady on her way out came up to us and asked if Jessica was riding. I was slightly confused but nodded and said yes. She handed me two tickets and said they had spares. (Apparently if your 3 year is wearing bows in her hair, a fluffy dress AND cowboy boots everyone in North Carolina will stop to swoon and tell you how adorable she is. Oh and give you free stuff.) On top of Mark's extravagant purchase and two free tickets we still had to go back to the ticket counter and buy one more ticket so Jessica and Mark could ride the ferris wheel 'one last time,' at her insistance! Even the carnies loved her, and if you've ever been to a fair you know what a tight lipped bunch they can be.

and up they go! The second ride was after dark and I was too busy eating funnel cake to take any pictures. I'd lost some of the 'mom panic' by that point. |
I'm missing a video from the carousel which is adorable too but between my persnickity phone and the mac... uploading is not exactly smooth sailing.
They love her because she's so gorgeous! And getting bigger every time I see her :D
