Preschool Fun Fair

At 81 degrees and sunny, today was the perfect day for an end of the school year fair! There were games galore (the girls both won lots of prizes), a bounce house, fair goodies like cotton candy and popcorn, and lots of preschoolers. Both of Liesel's fabulous teachers were there helping to man the many booths. They not only gave a hearty welcome to Liesel but to little Ireland who's really dying to go to preschool herself.
Quite the budding equestrian!
Irelands opinion on the whole
thing differed somewhat.
When Liesel spotted the pony rides she shocked me to my core and asked to go on one. This is the girl who's afraid of squirrels and small dogs. Then again, Daddy always gives her a ride from the living room to her bed when it's nighttime so perhaps she identified with the fun in that. When one of the ponies nickered, Ireland frowned and responded in the same manner which was hilarious!


It tickles!
Of all the activities, I think the face painting won over the girls the most. They didn't even mind waiting in the long, hot line for their turn. Liesel got a pineapple and Ireland got a daisy to match their outfits.

Holding sooo still.

Admiring the artwork. Did you catch the baby bump in the background?
Maybe horizontal stripes aren't my best look these days...
We waited until the very end when most of the crowd had died down to take the train ride. After a morning of walking around in the sun, it was nice to sit back and enjoy the breeze for a bit. I'm new to this so I have to ask, Does the school year always fly by so quickly? It seems like just yesterday I was taking a picture of Liesel on her first day with her pigtails and brand-new backpack.
