Jillys Birthday Party - Part II
At the crack of noon we set of for a drive across the dreaded 401 to Fantasy Fair in Toronto for the second installment of Jillys Birthday party with Lisas parents. Jilly (naturally) enjoyed herself quite a bit, immediately fixating on the carousel and wanting to ride the horsies.
The choo-choo and ferris wheel were next, and each adult got a turn acting as escort.
At the top of the ferris wheel (my turn as escort) I asked Jilly if she was scared, the response I got was summed up well in the picture above, she was pretty far from scared and gave me the sort of look I KNOW I’ve given people more than once.
At least she comes by it honestly.
After the rides we parted ways with the in-laws and dashed off to my Cousin Theodores place for a small family gathering unofficially celebrating both the birth of Patrick Arnold and Jillys B-day (and of course spending a little while catching up in the usual din that accompanies any gathering of my family). Pictures of that are somewhat confusing, and I’ll save them for another time.
We’re home now, and more than a little beat. Night night.
Yup - you’re right. That expression confirms the hypothesis that much of facial expression is inherited. As KD would say, “It must be genetic!”
Sounds like great fun, especially carousel horse ride! Maybe by next fall she’ll be tall enough for the Rockwood Fair and a ride on a real pony too. (Or a donkey).
Hey - hope Jilly got the package we sent…mail sucks between us and you. Let me know if it doesn’t/hasn’t arrived.
