Sky High

Last weekend we went to the (94th?) annual McLean Day, an amazingly wonderful and completely free carnival in the "town" next to ours. We've gone every year for the past four. Last year's was perhaps the most memorable. I'll never forget walking around NURSING Anna, covered under my Hooter Hider, while trying to keep up with Lily.

This year our cousins joined us for the fun. Anna had her first taste of lemonade. Again, something that Lily sampled for the first time MUCH later in life. Lily rode in a "ferris wheel" with cousin Camilla, the smallest one I've ever seen. Ever.

Click HERE for photos from McLean Day 2008. Photos that, btw, only exist on blogger/Picasa because they were lost when the hard drive failed last year. And lest you forget that drama, feel free to click HERE or HERE!

(at least I've since learned how to keep shoes in my kid)

World's smallest ferris wheel. No exaggeration.

And, yes. If you were looking closely at the photos and noticed similarities between the girls outfits, they are, in fact, wearing the same thing. Matching is Lily's latest obsession.
