Payton Williamson

It's a rainy Monday on Labor Day weekend and I am LABORING! Pea is at Melanie's house playing with the kids while I finish up a project. However, there's always time to blog (in other words, procrastinate).

I forgot to mention (or maybe I did!) that we took Payton to the Clallam County Fair 2 weeks ago and it was a hoot. Adrian and Emily came with us and they were a total dream. It's always fun to go to fairs and see everything through the eyes of a child. We saw cows, horses, pigs (and baby pigs!), chickens, goats, sheep....you name the farm animal, we saw them. And Pea wanted to touch them all of course :) we used a lot of antibacterial wipes that day!

The funniest thing was taking Pea on the Carousel...his first ride! We got on and I sat him on the horse (kids under 2 had to be on the inside), and he just thought that was fantastic. We hadn't moved yet but he was woopin' it up. Then we moved. And then he wasn't having so much fun anymore. I realize this must be jarring for a child because not only does the (rickety) horse go up and down, but you are spinning as well. I was told that spinning is pleasurable for kids until they get to be teenagers but perhaps not this little guy. Anyways, he had wide eyes of terror so I had to hug him the hold time but he was a trooper and hung on until the end.

Here are some shots of us BEFORE we started moving :) That's us looking in the mirror!
