The Delta Expo

So, Delta Township, our fair township, held their annual expo today and the Nelsons manned our church's booth for a while. I blew up balloons and Danielle painted faces. Not a bad gig. At first I was blowing up the balloons as huge as I could get them; the cool guy, right? But soon the whole place was filled with bursting balloons and freaked out kids. I learned an important lesson.

They had a Super Bounce there, which Willow was pretty interested in at least looking at.

Bear had his face painted with some unlicensed athletic logos of local collegiate institutions. Also a mouse.

Don't pay attention to whatever embarrassing thing Danielle is doing. I'm sure there is some logical explanation. Even Bear is pretending not to notice.

Willow enjoyed her brief moments of freedom. That's a flower painted on her head. Eventually we peeled her out of that big snow suit which greatly increased both her range of motion and speed. She is a lot like Randy in A Christmas Story; when she has that huge thing all bundled up, she just lays on the ground a refuses to move. She just looks around and waits to be carted somewhere.

That Willow has some kind of personality lurking in there, doesn't she?
