  • Doyle and I took Jonathan to the San Juan County Fair this evening.  Giggles were the order of the day, especially with the geese and chickens.  For some reason they really tickled him.  I was lucky enough to catch him in this  photo in a giggle.  Anyone who has tried to get Jonathan to smile for the camera, let alone laugh, knows how hard it is.  It's not that he doesn't smile or laugh, he just gets dead serious when the camera comes out.  It is so fun to visit a fair with a little guy.  He was invited to get in a pen and pet a pig, (our egg lady's grandchildren won the big prizes for their pigs and she let him in the pen)  pet a chicken, get close to the cows, ducks and rabbits.  I asked him on the way home what was his favorite thing and he said "rabbits."  They are awfully cute!  He got a free Bible from the Gideon's and thought that was pretty awesome.  He got a free balloon and when the lady didn't hear him say "thank you" he  got a little irate.  "I said thank you", he said a little louder!  Thankfully, she heard him the second time.  No telling how loud he would have hollered if she hadn't heard him.  Heather packed him a lunch and while we ate our Navajo Tacos he ate his burrito.  During our picnic at the fair, he snuggled up to me and said, "I just LOVE being with you and Paca!"  Oh, doesn't that just make a grandparent feel good!  (And you know what?  We just LOVE being with Jonathan too!).
