Interpretive Dance at the Pig Races

It was a brutally hot gorgeous, sunny summer's day at The Fair! (The weatherman said it was only going to be 74, I guess I missed the part where he said "feels like 94"!) E's favorite part was the PIG RACES. One of my favorite parts of the fair that day was watching E cheering for the pigs. Here is a quick series of shots of E doing her interpretive dance number at the pig races. All competitive athletes should have a cheering section like our little E. "Go pigs, GO!"

The White Stuff

It snowed for a few days and J and E have really been enjoying it. J has shoveled out a very extensive "house" of many "rooms" in the backyard and E delights in playing "snowballs". This game that E devised involves picking up a chunk of snow (rarely round) and getting as close to your target as possible (less than a foot away) and then pitching said oblong, irregular shaped chunk of snow at target's face. Cold, snowy fun! Then there is cocoa and marshmallows and silly face contests afterwards. They both like to do strange things with their tongues for the camera but J's new favorite face is the one where he looks like he is eating his bottom lip.
