Elephant. Ride Elephant.




So it has been weeks since we've gone to scarboro fair. We had a wonderful time. Took Teresa, Dan's sister with us and we all had a fabulous time. But the highlight is definetly Lea and I riding the very tame, very old elephant. Teresa started the day saying we would see an elephant and thank goodness there was one, because Lea was holding Teresa to her word of seeing and riding the elephant. So we did. Lea was so excited, until she climbed on in front of me, at which time she put her stretched hand over her face and eyes and said "scared." When she climbed down the stairs from the elephant pavillion she told Dan "Scared. Again!" So she liked it. We still hear about the "Elephant. Ride Elephant." She even wakes up talking about it. There was a camel that you could ride next to the elephant. We did not ride it, and Lea will tell you there was a camel and that we did not ride it. It comes out like "camel. ride. [shake head no]"
"Pet. Bunny" is also a good story Lea tells. The last word, "bunny" is whispered as though it is one of the greatest secrets known to childhood. There was a great petting zoo that we were at for at least half an hour. Bunnies, goats, ducks, pigs, ponies. Lea got a carrot on the way in and the goats would nibble it. "What ate the carrot?" "Goat" or "Pony" also whispered.
Lea wore her fairy skirt (not bought there, but brought along so we didn't have to spend the money for a new one!) and by the end she wore that and Teresa's hat. Very cute.
