Took Kids To The County Fair...Funny...Pics Added

Last Monday evening we went to the local county fair and took along Bry and his aunt, Damya. (Pronounced Da-MY-A, not DAM-ya) Bry is 2 1/2 and Damya is 5. The kids had a great time, and it was well worth the money spent on the wristbands for the rides.
Dawnie was waiting in line for something or other, and I had gone back to the car for my camera. Bry was circling, staying where Dawnie could see him, but not right with her. He ran upon a group of teenagers, and they apparently thought he was lost, since he is black, and they didn't see any black adults nearby, and started talking to him.
"Hey, little man, where's your momma?"
"Right there." (Pointing at Dawnie)
They were unconvinced until Dawnie told them that he was with her.
A little later, Bry was wandering around and literally ran into a uniformed police officer who was working at the fair. He hollered, "Papaw!" Then he looked up, and saw it was not I, and he said, "Oh no! You not Papaw!" and he ran back to Dawnie.

David, you and Dawnie are the salt of the earth. Thank you for loving and caring for the children who need you![;)]
Your county fairs start early. Here in Iowa, ours usually begin in July with the state fair at the end of August. It's usually hotter than hell then.
Oh, yeah, and Happy Father's Day.
Cute story.
there was this train ride ride and Bry ran to it first pushing Damya out of the way,,she got mad and i told her next time she can have the front,the ride ended noone else in line so i said can they go again,he said yes so we switched places Bry sat in the second seat the train went around once and I quess Bry didnt want to sit there so he stood up and i said sit,he stood up again and the guy stopped the ride and said off,,,Damya was surprised and Bry didnt bother him at all,it was almost like he meant to do it,,i was embarased never had a kid kicked off a ride before,,i quess there is a first time for everything
oh we have pictures,i will have him post some later..I also had a lady ask me "are those your kids"i said yes and she said "where did you adopt them from"i said greenville..and she said oooh...people can be so dumb at times..
I would have smiled and said, "I'm an albino. I'm sure glad the kinds didn't come out that way!"[}:)][}:)][}:)]

Sounds like you and Dawnie had as much or more fun than the kids.

I would have thought hell would be less humid [;)]

It was a rinky-dink country county fair, but the kids had fun.[:)]
Having two daughters of my own makes me partial to girls but that little guy is really cute.
And that "someone's" name is dawnie.
FUN pics, thanks. [:D]
