Llama Llama Red Pajama



Well, McHaney got to meet one of her storybook heroes this weekend... kind of. Gimmy and PawPaw took her to the Williamson County Fair Friday night.

Somehow, she got in her head she was going to see llama llama there. (For those of you who don't have toddlers, Llama Llama is a two book series by author Anne Dewdney. They are absolutely Mc's favorites, and I have to say I'm a little partial to them myself.) She just kept talking about llama llama the whole afternoon, luckily the fair did not disappoint.

She was able to see, llamas and camels (pictured at left), a goose that apparently scared her to death, chickens, she got to ride a pony, and probably ate her weight in hot dogs. I was a little tenative about her going. The only fair I know anything about is the fair at the fairgrounds, and it's scary! But, apparently, this one was pretty nice, not crowded, well managed, and she had an absolute blast! It was the first time she's ever really come home from something and been able to communicate her excitement somewhat.

So, thanks Gimmy and PawPaw, it was a blast!

that llama in the first picture looks a little like he wants to nibble on her hair.
