OR STATE FAIR III

While at the fair we were just in time for a hilarious clown show called "Jest In Time" They did all sorts of tricks - juggling, music, trained dog, etc. We were surprised and thrilled when they were looking for a LITTLE volunteer and Ky was chosen to help! He had the crowd busting with laughter because he is just so stinkin' cute. I wish we would have had a video camera with us, would love to have that show on film! Here are some highlights from the show:

Ky's job was to help the clown man build a tower of square paper boxes. He needed a "work hat" - which obviously was WAY too big - and got big laughs
Ky was helping to stack the boxes and stacked one with the flap side up vs the flat side up. The clown asked him to pick it up - Ky thought he said KICK it - so he did -which brought a big response from the clown "I need you to pick it up, not kick it" he said laughingly - which brought huge laughs from the crowd too - esp since after that Ky tried to walk away thinking his job was done.
Towards the end of the show the girl clown asked Ky to stand next to her - just out of the blue he looked out at the crowd and said "CHEESE!" - which as you can see from the pict (sorry it is blurry) took her completely off guard! The whole audience was roaring by then - which is why the pict is blurry - I was laughing so hard I could hardly hold the camera!

I love the angle of this pict because it really captures the feel of all those boxes stacked on top of each other, Ky's awe of watching them, and the crowd's response (gasps and AAAHH's) thinking that each time the clown tipped the stack that they were going to fall right on top of Ky.

The whole show was really a lot of fun, and having Ky be a "star" for the day was an extra treat for all of us! Way to go Bubby!
