two summer days

multnomah falls day trip 

days like these

fighting for memories

pushing through moods and meltdowns

to get out there

and finally see it

the joy

the wonder

on their faces

and when you see it

it is all

worth it

The County Fair 2024

Zinni’s first year entering her own creations

Lucy entering in two new categories

Zinni growing into the next height requirement for fair rides

Lucy getting chosen to come up on stage during a performance and the crowd chanting her name

Johnnie experiencing it all for the first time

Nate feeling indignant over ride prices

Me feeling stressed about everyone having enough food

 All of us piling into the van at the end tired and happy.
