howdy, folks...

my mom and i took brooks to the state fair...

we had to pose for the obligatory picture of big tex...

both of us...

i pulled a michael jackson and dangled him
in the cage...good thing there were only ducklings below...

brooks had never SEEN so many animals and he could HARDLY contain himself...

and just when he thought things couldn't get ANY better,
he found himself in a barrel and he LOVED that too...

a great time was had by all...

especially the little man himself...
