Hi Papa..Cows Go Moo

This past weekend we ventured back to the San Diego county fair to get our taste buds stimulated. It took us about an hour to get up there and park our car. As we walked around, we watched dare-devilish folks bungee jump above the food court, commented on the safety of all the carny rides and navigated skillfully with our stroller through massive amounts of people. We strolled around in the vendor halls and made it to the art exhibits this time around.

We admired the work of many talented San Diegans as they exhibited their paintings and art work. Jen found the elephant painting exhibit finally. She was a little disappointed that actual elephants were not painting their masterpieces, but instead framed artwork by elephants were displayed on the wall. Eh...can't be picky, right?

We also ventured to the photography exhibit where Kalista pointed at almost all the photographs and squealed. She must have been having a great time.

We caught a couple rounds of boxing as we rested in the Paddock Area of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. It might have been rigged since the fighter from San Diego won each fight. Kalista soaked in a little sun and snacked on an apple slice.

Even after the fair, Kalista was a ball of energy....cruising and walking around. Besides her new found confidence in walking, Kalista said "Hi Papa!" loud and clear yesterday when she looked at Matt. It was a big surprise to hear her say such a little phrase so well, since she babbles most of the time.

We were working on an animal puzzle today and she repeated *neigh* and *moo* when we got to the horse and cow. She is truly a sponge absorbing everything around her. No more potty mouth for us in the house...oh F#$#*@* S*$&#@$!!! (just kidding...we have clean mouths)
