Life does not always give you what you expect, but we have come to trust that we are always where we are meant to be and with faith, hope, and love we can conquer anything. Most importantly, it really is all about the journey...

Summer Rewind - NYS Fair

Syracuse is the home of "The Great New York State Fair" and it is a pretty big deal every year. I don't know how we managed to spend hours on end there as our younger selves - we were exhausted after just a few very low key hours with Charlie! Going to the fair is one of my fondest summer memories as a kid. It was always the last hurrah before the new school year. We have never brought Charlie because, frankly, now as adults we realize its loud, dirty, and a little frightening. It is quite an interesting display of the human race as well. Charlie was a little shell shocked by it all when we first got there, but he adjusted as our evening went on and it was a great date night out with Mommy, Daddy, and Charlie.

 He would not wander far from the
stroller when we first got there

 Checking out the sea lion show and enjoying a corn dog


 Newly hatched chicks in the 4H building


 This was by far his favorite fair moment!
He talked about it for days :-)


 "fishing"


 All smiles on the truck ride...


 ...and on the catepillar.


 Fried dough induced SUGAR HIGH!

his light saber he won by fishing
