Sunday at the Fair......
I love The Oregon Country Fair and so happy we made it (if only for one day) this year.
It is always kind of sad to leave.
There is no place like it. It is just so alive with creativity and so much work goes into putting it all together. I am really thankful for all the folks who make the Fair possible.
Thanks for giving my spirit the creative rejuvenation I needed.
(p.s. Like Nalah's bear bonnet? I will be adding animal ear baby bonnets to my Etsy Shop in the very near future so please check back soon)
and speaking of....
 Poor Nalah is still in her I hate driving in the car be it for two minutes or two hours phase so it was a bit hard for her with over 4 hours of driving in one day, but she LOVED the Fair so much and made a lot of friends while she was there.  Her little arms and legs kicked wildly and she smiled ear to ear  in between several naps. Getting carried all day by Mama while walking  through beautiful wooded paths filled with enough visual stimulation to make you dizzy filled with thousands of new faces to smile at = Nalah Heaven!
I think she had a bit of wanderlust today as we just sat around at home most of the day. Once we got everyone on the same page and got out in the day she was much more content. And we didn't set foot in the car as  promised her. Kind of glad we don't have any more long distance trips planned for a while. Although I am the kind of person who gets a little weird when I get stuck in the city for too long, thank goodness for all of Portland's beautiful parks!

So sad that I missed you! Sorry I didn't comment back, I of course just got your comment. Our weekend was busy with country fair Friday, then I worked the rest of the weekend up until today. So glad you had a fun time :) Hazel was also in heaven.. so much stimulation! Luckily we didn't have to drive as far.
