At the Richmond Fair

Hey, did you know that once upon a time I used to take a lot of pictures? I know, you’d never know it from the blog lately. In fact, there was a while there where I didn’t even touch the camera for two whole weeks. I’ve missed it horribly!

After another showing fiasco on Saturday (we cleaned for two hours for a showing, just to be prudent even though we already had the conditional offer, only to find out that our agent had canceled all the weekend showings. And forgot to tell us. Gah!) we decided that we all needed a family day. On Sunday, we took all three boys and the Nikon to the Richmond Fair for a day of rides, games, ponies and cotton candy.

It was, by all accounts, a perfect day.

I almost made this last one my picture of the day, but I think when I look back on this project in 20 years, it will be the pictures of the boys enjoying themselves that will mean the most to me. But damn, this one tickles my fancy. They’ve even got matching eyeglasses. Aren’t they adorable?

Happy Tuesday!

  1. Wonderful pictures of a great day. I too love the last one…too cute. Perhaps next year you may want to venture a little further on the Perth Road in Richmond (county road 10) and come on out to the Perth Fair held every long weekend in September. The boys will enjoy it and if you’ve never been to Perth, it is worth a visit! #justsaying 🙂

  2. The last picture made me smile! They do have matching eyeglasses, and look similarly “happy” 😆

    Lovely set. Fairs are fun, I don’t know why I always seem to miss them.

  3. Great pictures! I especially like the last one. And you had such a nice day. It looks as though we’ll be getting rain for the Carp Fair this weekend. Sigh. Of course we’ll go anyway.
