Heritage Fair with the Horns the day after Thanksgiving

Emma inside the petting zoo

My best guess is that Emma will be taller than me by the time she's  14, maybe sooner.   

This fluffy bunny turned out to have sharp claws!  He left marks when he tried to hop out of Emma's arms.

Emma and P. Tom made pretzels

Fresh from the oven!

The pretzel tops are dipped in butter then covered with salt or a cinnamon/sugar mix.

Ta-da!

Emma learned to dip candles

Alpacas have very soft fur and are smaller than llamas

My first time to hold a duckling.  So soft and cute!

So who knew brooms require pressing?  Papa Tom and I speculated that the broom straws are compressed so the twine can be tied in place

Al, magically making the broom stand alone.  Why do I hear "Hall of the Mountain Kings" from Fantasia about now?  (I think it was "Hall of the Mountain Kings" in the scene with brooms multiplying and carrying buckets of water, right?)

Emma selects her broom to fly with Harry Potter in the next --ooh, what's the name of that game?--Quidditch (?) tournament.

What a clever idea!  A basket for gathering things  at the bottom of the stairs to take upstairs.

Joyce and Emma at the end of the day
