Oh what a wonderful time we had at the faire ..little Mirren was one tired little girl but she had fun watching her daddy make a fool of himself during the games. I must admit hearing her baby giggles and squeals of delight made it more enjoyable for me as well. Though when she saw her father flying through the air , after being shot out of the cannon; her little eyes were like saucers and she started crying which stopped when her father appeared before her soaking wet from his landing in the water.
Though she was a too young to be partaking in the faire foods, I had a few that wouldn’t upset either of our tummies.. I have to say I did enjoy the funnel cakes, but I avoided the drinks as they gave me heart burn .Found a quiet spot to nurse her, in the midst of chaos while Fnar kept a watchful eye on us both. Though the fair was a neutral zone, that didn’t allow fighting.. that doesn’t prevent asses of either faction from spouting off. However that was lost on our little girl who was more intent on the faire than the posturing of jackasses. Keeping her close, wrapped in a large sling, she was able to nap off and on during the day, while her father and I walked through the fairegrounds enjoying the day away from the farm. Already our arms were getting full from the numerous prizes Fnar had won . Mirren took to a shine to a little stuffed Zhevra toy ,and went to sleep with it in her chubby little hands. She looks like a little cherub when she’s asleep , with her golden curls so like her father’s, big rosy cheeks, and little rosebud mouth. She has my dark green eyes, and her grandfather’s nose but her personality is all her own..she knows she’s loved,and that’s the important thing.
We arrived back home, happy and exhausted.. I certainly got no protest from Mirren when it came to putting her to bed, she was one tired little girl,and her father and I weren’t too far behind . It took everything in us, to get the animals fed and watered for the night,before we both crawled into bed exhausted from the day’s adventures. It was a good day, one that we all enjoyed as a family .
