We took EvalaLou to the county fair today. After utter panic ("I want to get out of here!"), in the animal barns, we settled in for a long afternoon on the rides. She first thought the ferris wheel looked great. She was tall enough to go on with Bill, but we were worried she would have a freak out at the top. Luckily the line was long and she was distracted by the train ride. So she rode that. Thrice. And the merry-go-round four times. And the flying dragons (ALONE!) twice. And the fact that they went up in the air made it even better.
After all that she scarfed a hot dog and made four new friends, including a little girl who actually lives here in Wilmington. After a minute together they were holding hands and kissing.
She "won" a game (sanctioned cheating, of course) and picked a stretchy rubber lion/ball that Bill immediately named Scrotee. Yeah.
The rest of the weekend she made eyes at our house guest, Mike, and took a special trip to the park with old Bunkhouse guest Daniel and his fiance, Adrienne. They camped in our backyard last night.
