The Cleveland County Fair was in town this past weekend (Oh boy!...Not really), but it was something to do since OU had a Bye week and we thought Keller would have fun riding the little rides. Have fun is an understatement. He loved the carousel. There is this little roller coaster that was an alligator and it was just for little kids. Last year Keller was too short to ride it, but this year he just barely met the height requirement!

I figured he would love the sprayground because he loves swimming so much. Boy, was I wrong! He wanted nothing to do with it! He clung to either me, Mom or Dad for the first 15 minutes we were there. He would watch the water and stick his hand in it, but he wanted no part of going in it or under it. Just before we were about to call it quits, Papa Todd got brave and decided that it was going to take getting wet ourselves (which we were completely unprepared for), to get Keller to play in the water. Here is Papa Todd and Keller running through the rainbow sprinkler. And after their first run through. He doesn't look too traumatized. This rainbow sprinkler ended up being Keller's favorite thing to play with at the sprayg...
