The Fair

I got a chance this weekend to meet Eric's parents at the fair with Gabe. He was so cute and he had a blast. We saw animals, had some corn on the cob, and his favorite, sit on the tractors! You would have thought he went to heaven. He just kept moving the steering wheel and playing with all the levers. It was so hard to get him off of them. He also rode the carousel with Grandpa. He smiled the whole time. Afterward a lady came to me and said how cute he was and how you could tell he loved it. I did have a scare though. We were sitting in the Pioneer Farm area which is for kids to play with Pioneer stuff. We were sitting there and eating our corn on the cob. Gabe would take a bite and walk around a bit but no more than 3 feet from me and Eric's dad was standing next to him. A couple walked by and asked where we got the corn and we pointed to the area. I looked back and Gabe was gone! I said, "Where did he go?" Luckily a guy standing right next to us told me he was right behind him. Sure enough he was on his way out of there. He was right in the little gateway about to go into the sea of people. It was so fast! Seriously, 2 seconds. I've decided to get one of those leash things. His cousin has one and it's actually kind of cute. It's a little doggy backpack. Pre-kids I thought those things were weird but now at least I'll know nowone is stealing him.
