Anna's first trip to the fair

First food; then rides by you.

Riding the wheel by you.

THURSDAY NIGHT : Awesome cooler weather with just a touch of a breeze. Dinner & an elephant ear. A bit of grouchiness from the older kid after he didn't win a game. A couple rides (the ferris wheel with mom & the haunted house with dad). Lovely light. Tons of excitement going in and really tired kids & parents coming out. Savoring the last few weeks of summer.

    You might have mentioned this before, but what kind of camera & photo editing software do you use? Now that all this wedding stuff is over I think I'm gonna start looking into getting a better camera. Thanks!

    you can totally feel the momentum building for the start of a 'new' year, can't you? this time of year always feels more like the new year to me than the actual new year.
    i love your photos. our fair season starts in a week or two and i can't wait.

    I love how you documented your day. I was reading through some old posts and came across a week in the life and decided to take on the challenge but only for the day. I toted my camera around with me and would stop every now and then to capture the moment. It was so much fun that I had to put it together in an album later that afternoon. Keep inspiring others I never get tired of all the goodness you share whether it is a quote, a friends blog, gorgeous pictures, or a project.

    Ali, these photographs are amazing! Those first two just caught me and swept me away! Of course, then came the tummy ache I get EVERY time I look a those swings! I can do any roller coaster out there, but MAN, those swings get me! LOL!

    Lovely photos Ali! I can almost hear the arcade music! Looks like you all had a nice evening, aside from the tiny bit of grouchiness. I love Simon's minus-two-teeth grin! Sweet :)
    Have a splendid weekend~

    Ali,
    Learning that hardly ANYONE wins the fair games seems to be a grouchy part of growing up for every kid! Love the light in these shots!
