Tandem

Tantrum ...



Triumph.

As soon as the doctor ordered crutches ...

I knew this was how they were going to work.

It's just a flesh wound

But in case you're keeping track, the score is as follows:


Apple Tree, 1

Silas, 0

Off to an auspicious start

We missed one bus.



And then another.

Still, I'm calling it in our favor.

I think we're off to a pretty good start.

Weather or not ...

The forecast called for thunderstorms all day long.


We took our chances and went to the fair. Weather or not, here we come. ...



Turns out getting the worst parking spot in the entire fair universe has its perks.



We picked our favorite contender at Cupcake Wars.



A little girl I know, having reached the magical height of 48 inches (49.5 to be precise), got her Bumper Cars permit.



A little boy I know -- now measuring 43 inches (a full inch taller than the minimum) -- has graduated to the Big Kids' Rides.



Like the Flying Bobs! (OH YEAH!!!)



Though he still fits in his old favorites.



I didn't see a lot of sibling rivalry.



Sometimes she came in first.



Sometimes he did.



But mostly, they stayed side by side for the whole ride.
