fair fun

I sent in my first part of the ongoing story in Fran's blog. I'm sure I have a link to her blog off to the side here (*pointing randomly, knowing you'll find it*) if you want to check out the contest story, or maybe even participate appropriately.

In the meantime, I got ahold (yeah, its a word) of some photos taken at this year's Southern NM State Fair. One of the activities near the gate was a cool set of large, clear plastic balls, that kids could get into and attempt to maneuver around a pretty large wading pool. The wading pool had water in it, so traction was non-existent. Looked like crazy fun to me. When we went, it was nearly dark, and they looked busy. The next day, Raine went with her friend, and here's what they got up to.
