End of Summer
Why is Madeleine so sad? While one might be tempted to account for her anger by citing the usual understandable concerns: denied desire to remain outside, refusal to request for cookie, having diaper changed etc... In this particular case, it is because she was told the bad news first: summer is officially over!
Some plebeians might think that the end of summer is discerned by something lame like a date on a calendar, how pedestrian!! In reality, we all know that the real measure of when summer ends and winter begins is the Church Country Fair.
Ah the Church Country Fair, the land where time has no effect. Although this year was the 50th anniversary, much like the PNE, every year at the CCF is exactly the same. Everything is in the same place, everything tastes the same and everything costs the same amount. Ah the Egg McDash's, breakfast perfection, for only 4 tickets.
This child's game of skill is no match for Uncle Aaron.
One of the highlights is the Cake Walk. For those of you are unfamiliar let me explain: there are twelve individually numbered pieces of paper on the floor in a circle, a lively tune is played and the participants walk around in a circle until the music ceases at which point everyone is on a particular number. One of the participants then picks a number out of a hat, if you happen to be standing on that particular number, you win a cake of your choice. Basically it is an overly elaborate draw.
This was Baby M's first Cake Walk.
Winning it was a piece of cake!!
Madeleine says, "Bye bye summer, see you next year"
