Although they may not be so obvious, there are hundreds of faces here.
The Warren County A & L Fair in McMinnville, Tennessee makes its appearance only once a year; arriving in wee morning hours on the Sunday before the second Monday of the month of September.
As a child, I waited in anticipation as August came to an end and Labor day came to officially whisk summer away - even if it didn't immediately take the humid Southern summers.
The week of the fair was - still is - like our town's own personal holiday.
It is a week where old friends reconnect, old flames are revived (sometimes much to the despair of spouses and significant others), babies are put on display in the name of pageantry, a beauty queen is crowned; and the smell of grilled hamburgers, homemade apple pie, and cotton candy lures the most antisocial of society.
While the thrill of the county fair may have lost its flair for me over the years, I now see the anticipation in my own children's eyes.
A look that keeps me returning year after year after year...
This week, I ♥ Faces has two categories: Wedding Bells (judged) and Just For Fun (not judged). Obviously I've opted to participate in the second category.
The photo you see here was taken just yesterday while swimming. Dad was spending time with Princess and decided to mess with her hair (and there is plenty to mess with!). The results: all of it piled up on the top, curling over - completely no rhyme or reason (IMO).
Silly Daddy! :)
What goes up, must come down...and it did with a SPLASH!
This week's theme at I ♥ Faces is "Let's Hear It For The Boys!"
I chose to submit this one because only boys play like this in the pool. ☺
This is my son Matt (Biggest Brother) celebrating his 1st birthday.
That was 17 years ago.
Boy, do the years go by (too) fast.
This week's I ♥ Faces challenge is to submit your favorite photo. Although I've used this photo in a previous post, I can't think of another photo I love more than this one so I'm using it again.
I think this photo captures the spirit of the Magic Kingdom as Walt Disney intended. I don't think I've ever seen a happier child than I saw on this day - actually, that week!
"...If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything...."
While this isn't a very good photo by even amatuer standards, I chose it for this week since it's one of my personal favorites. To save you a long story that probably wouldn't be interesting to you anyway, I'll summarize: big brother got caught sneaking around in biggest brother's room.
Now you understand! :)
