The Fair, plus four bonus pics

From our day at the fair:


We always paint our hair with that temporary spray-stuff for the fair. David was red, Timothy pink, Forrest purple, me green, and Noelle half-purple, half-green.

































In one of the animal buildings there were two tortoises. The note on this (bigger) one's back said, "Don't panic. It is OK for me to walk around."






























Youssef and Lynné brought face paint, and we did quite a bit of painting...
This artwork by Youssef:





















Lynné did her own flower around her eye and Youssef's wreath of leaves.






























...and my strawberry.




















Youssef did the Spider-Man painting on Timothy...



















I did Noelle's butterfly...




















Youssef made a dragon on Matthew's arm (and Jamie added the "blue-flame" part to his fingernails). Unfortunately this is about the best shot I got of it.















Lynné did Jamie's flower.





















Here are the boys enjoying elephant ears after a corn dog dinner:






















































Noelle woke up from a nap just as we were finishing our dinner. Here she is, a little sleepy but happy.



















Victoria. Her hair was painted red, with white braids.





















Sunset.
















The Spokane County Sheriff's department had a booth, with a little prop behind which to take pictures. hehe.
































Here are the kids, being bees (this year's fair theme)...Our three, and Victoria. Noelle's got a honey stick.
















And Matthew, Taneisha, Victoria, and Jamie.
















Timothy petting a goat.
















Dancin' to the music as we walked past.

















Bonus: (not from the fair)
Noelle, "smiling" for the camera...




















Timothy and Forrest made this cape with paper, a black crayon, scissors and yarn. The pinkish tint to Timothy's head is leftover from the fair paint...didn't all come out in the shower.




















Noelle, pretending to be a boy. She did this herself without coaxing, and loves to put on Timothy & David's Spider-Man shoes.





















French braids. One of them came out within an hour.

Actually, Youssef did the flower around my eye. ;) ... I think the shape was great but the white was a little too chalky white looking.
I like the sunset picture!
