going to the fair

Okay... actually it was the "rodeo", but I like so much more referring to it as "the fair". It's kind of in line with the reason I always specify living in "austin" not "texas". But who cares about linguistics here, it was fun! It always amazes me how personality traits can be seen so clearly in kids. Coda has always been cautious, and he was very selective with which rides he felt comfortable riding. I have a feeling that next year Clove will be tugging on Coda's sleeve, leading the way to the double loop roller coaster. If that happens, I know Coda will be making darn sure that they both are above the YOU MUST BE THIS TALL line before even considering the ride. It reminds me of the importance of balance. Stay grounded, but jump up every now and then to feel the butterflies in your stomach. And eat funnel cake every chance you get. yep, oh yeah.
