State Fair of Texas

An almost two year old and the state fair equals complete insanity for a parent. In a good way. Last year at the fair Savannah slept through most of it. There wasn't really much for her do be entertained with at that time. This year was the exact opposite. She was so excited when we got to the Midway(that's where all the rides and games are). She was loving every minute... watching all the rides and clapping and laughing at all the different music playing. I took her in one of those fun house things... OH MAN... that was like little Savannah paradise. I thought she would want me to hold her through the whole thing. Not so much. She wanted to do it all on her own. She walked over each little obstacle like a pro. Even when she ate it pretty good on one of the spinners on the floor she just got back up and went over it again... laughing the whole time. There were some moments of much needed discipline throughout the night. Savannah had a hard time understanding why she could not run 5 feet in front of me through the midway. I had to stop several times and straighten that situation out. Other than that, she was great. There was still a handful of things that were a little too old for her. Which is kind of a good thing because that leaves a lot of new things for us to try each year.




This is not Savannah related at all. I have to share this though because it is really cool and I want my dad to see it. Anyone who knows me at some point will also come to know of my LOVE for a man by the name of Larry Wayne Jones Jr., aka Chipper Jones. No one knows or understands this better than my dad... he had to live with that obsession for years. Taking me to baseball games to stalk Chipper, buying me every magazine that Chipper every graced the cover of... basically fueling this LOVE of mine. That is why I know he will get a kick out of this. My friend Missy got me the most awesome birthday gift... Chipper Chardonnay! Awesome, right!
