Today we went to a fair at the neighboring family student housing complex-- near where we used to live before downgrading to our current smaller apartment. It was designed to showcase some of the community services-- such as the fire and police departments, a local church, pre-school for student families, and the like. There was free food-- popcorn, lemonade, pizza, salad and PBJ sandwiches.
Todd enjoyed seeing the police car and firetruck (though I suspect Daddy enjoyed them more than Todd), and even got stickers in the shape of badges-- he was an honorary policeman and junior fireman that day :) You can see the stickers on his sweater in this photo taken at the adjacent playground (which he also made a beeline for):
We got to watch men dressed as knights do some jousting with fake swords-- much like what you see on Monty Python ;-) We enjoyed a free lunch of pizza and lemonade in the shade. And we topped off the day with some sidewalk art-- there was a bucket full of jumbo chalk next to one of the booths, with an invitation to do some chalk drawings on the pavement. Todd elected to write his name out, both in all-uppercase and all-lowercase. Here's the fruits of his labors:
And here is Mommy's trademark happy face that adorns most of her letters/cards... started back in junior high!
