We went to the state fair on Saturday.
Claire’s favorite part you ask?
The rides? No
The animals? Nope
The insane amount of fried foods (deep fried pickles?!)
No again.
This kooky girl loved, *LOVED* this chainsaw sculpture. Yes, the fake wooden raccoons, her favorite thing about the fair. She left the elephant and made a beeline for the wood carvings. Yep, that’s our girl.
Next year I’m talking Dan into taking home one of these guys. And we will certainly make a point to watch the demonstration. I’m sure Claire would be thrilled to see how these are made!

Perhaps she needs a real live pet? A cat perhaps? Oh wait you have a cat! Where could Ray be? Just kidding,I really don't mind having him for this extended visit. I ordered him a new poop scoop today.
