No camera??

What a day to leave the camera at home. Hannah and I hit the Farmers Market (Nick is taking a beating on his last call weekend and will likely be at the hospital all day) and discovered many, many wonderful and surprising things. Among them:
  • Eccentric market vendors, including the man with a beehive hat selling honey and a woman wearing a vest made of big green leaves who was selling plants.
  • Cows on the Concourse. The Dane County Dairy Promotion Committee (are we in Wisconsin or what?) was holding its annual dairy promotion festival at the Capitol, complete with real, live cows. Maybe the first cow Hannah has seen up close and personal...and she LOVED petting it. I had to pry her tiny little hands off the pen rails when it was time to go. If it hadn't been rainy, we might have stood in line for one of the $1.50 grilled cheese sandwiches that were being cooked on 3 giant (like the size of a tractor tire) rotating griddles.
  • Crazy Bicycle Parade. Apparently planned, but without explanation, a troupe of maybe 50 people in an assortment of costumes (white-faced geisha; man in head-to-toe purple including the tutu; lots of people with sod-covered bike helmets) came riding and whooping around the capitol square.
  • Hannah breaking out her newly-acquired "more" sign in response to the jelly-topped scone I let her sample.
All this and no camera. Sheesh.

Ally and I were totally missing ours cameras today too. It was their fist time using the double stroller together. Thanks always for a fun blog - you now have a different way of remembering the memory

I hope you don't let her wear that shirt too often. People will think you are proud your daughter is a brat instead of thinking the little child likes pig casings.
