The craft fair is over!! Like most of the country, it rained like crazy over the weekend so it wrecked the outdoor fair attendance. I wrote and bitched about it but I deleted it because I really have nothing to complain about when there is so much devastation and loss all over the country due to Ike. Even my neighborhood was evacuated near the river which is less than a mile away and the main road closed until this afternoon.
God bless those that are without a home, power, or dealing with damage from the flood to your homes or business.
Considering how much it rained, there were still lots of people out at the fair and at my store on Saturday. My tent however ripped overnight from the water that collected on top so we came on Sunday morning to a minor little flood on our tent and all over our tables. Fortunately, I made enough sales to cover my booth fee but I have a ton of inventory now and I'll have to post it up on etsy soon.
I went out today to the aquarium for the first time in about 20 years and of course baby had a great time. I took the bus and train downtown and it took over an hour so I'm a bit exhausted from carrying her for that long but I'm glad I got to go. We met up with 3 other babies and mommies from our bradley class and had a little picnic before we went in. It was a beautiful day outside today!
Elle grabbed and hugged/tackled a random baby girl and knocked her on the grass. It was sweet and cute but that baby was terrified and Elle kept wanting to do it again. Thank goodness that mom understood and enjoyed it too. What can I say, she's a lover.
Elle spent more time going after people than checking out the fish but she's more into things that she can touch and feel than through glass. Maybe I should take her to the zoo, if I only didn't hate the zoo so much. But I will soon for her sake.
Phew

ooh. imma gonna have to check out the new stuff you're going to have up at etsy. me likee!
I've yet to take NJ to the aquarium- and we live like 15 minutes from an awesome one! Thanks for reminding me.
As for the valves, they stick on the lid of the sippy cup, just underneath the "spout" and it prevents the milk/juice from spilling when it's turned upside down. A pain to kill. (Sorry I'm using your blog comment box for email- are you on Facebook?)
We had season passes to the zoo for several years and the kids loved it. I am not into hiking up hills to MAYBE catch a a glimpse of a sleeping lion or ape, so we limited our visits to certain sections at a time. Their favorite was always the petting area. The enjoyment for me was watching the kids have fun. Watching Elle have a good time might change your mind about zoos. :)
