Hayden in the buggy!
This is my son. If you met him recently and he went into “shy mode”, I would like to introduce you to the real thing. Laughing a lot, playing even more. Everything is just one big game. This has to be the best part about having a kid. Being able to see the world through their eyes. Seeing the world as we wish it would be. One big playground with toys everywhere. Sometimes the toys are sticks, sometimes rocks, sometimes it’s the big fluffy couch in the living room or Mom and Dad’s king size bed that sits way off the floor and makes you feel ten feet tall. The little plastic men can do anything your imagination wants them to do and the guns only shoot bubbles. And if that wasn’t enough, there is something new to discover every day! Always something new, be it camels, amusement rides, or funnel cakes, every day was a new adventure! It would be nice to be able to see the world that way again. For now I will settle for seeing it through my son’s eyes. I hope that one day he will be able to look back upon these posts and remember these times and remember how much joy Karen and I derive from introducing him to this world.
Karen and I had a rare free weekend day and searching for something to do, decided to journey out to the Loudoun County Fair. I had never been much of a “fair person” They never held much interest for me. Probably because we never had much money for County Fairs when I was young, and I talked myself out of liking them. After spending an afternoon at the fair with Karen and Hayden, I have a new found interest in them. Here is a few images from that afternoon. Take a minute and see the world through his eyes. It will give you a smile. It does for me!



The best part of my world!



Seeing the rides for the first time


Tall enough to take his first amusement ride!

Starting to enjoy the rides!


And now it's fun!

Waving at daddy with the camera.

Noticing the more interesting adult rides

What is a fair without funnel cake

What, the funnel cake is all gone?!?
