The Dragon March.

We're back from the Country Fair, what a great time. One of our primary reasons for going was to join in the Dragon march and the day didn't start out well in that respect. We arrived at the Fair at about 12:45pm and were told the Dragon march had already happened. When we told The Kid she said, "that's OK Mom, that's OK." What a little trooper. However later she started asking questions about where the Dragon was and that she wanted to see the Dragon. We were heart broken for her. We'll besides that the day continued on with us all exploring the wonderful sights and sounds of the fair. After watching some music and having lunch it was obvious that The Kid needed a nap. We went over to the "Mellow Space" and tried to get her to have some quiet time. It worked in a "so so" fashion. I soon had to take her to the potty; the porta-potty. What a gross solution to bathrooms. These things make me appreciate out-houses. Anyhow we were inside one of these methane boxes when I heard a faint cry. Was that someone calling my name. It happened again. I popped my head out of the box and there was the CEO, "Let's go!!! The Dragon just went marching by!!! Run!!!" We dashed through the fair as if being chased by a real dragon. When we finally caught up to the parade The Kid screamed "Dragon, dragon, dragon." She was on my shoulders screaming and waving her little magic wand. We must have followed the Dragon for almost half and hour chanting, "Watch out beware the magic of the dragon is at the fair," the whole time. That was definitely the highlight of the day. After that everything else was just icing on the cake.

The Kid is up.
