"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Agricultural Fair

What a great evening for Alvin! - we went to 2007 Montgomery County Agricultural Fair! Alvin was stunned by the crowd and cheers, fascinated by the carnival flashing lights and excited by all the farm animals. He pointed to everywhere and talked to every animal he met. We were also surprised that he could handle the animal smell so well - I guess he is around with similar odor everyday (if you know what I mean :)).

Since Alvin hasn't met the age requirement for the fun games, we jumped right into the animal exhibits.

See, how excited we get!

Have you ever been to Charlestown Horse Racing? What can be more fun than that? It has to be the PIG race! Following athletes are competing at the World Cup level.

Well, if you think PIG race is fun, wait until you see our DUCKY race!

What a life! In contrast to the racing pigs, this couple is enjoying eat-and-sleep-and-eat-again life very much. It is hard to find a companion who has similar taste of life.

We then stopped by the Old McDonald's Barn. Alvin loves Rocky the giant cow.


And, he was relieved that he doesn't need to compete with anyone else for his formula.
see, new born babies!

Yes. This is a sheep ,,, m-e-e ,,,

The pourltry house hosts many beauties, including our Black Diamond, Snow White and unnamed princess.



There are many more animals in the fair that aren't in our pictures. It was the first time we saw Alvin got so excited and curious about his surroundings. He definitely had a great day!!!
