Grace & Lucy’s Web Log

Talk about setting the bar a little too high, this past weekend gave the fuchster clan an opportunity to sample what was billed as the “best” of Missouri.

To avoid any kind of profound disappointment, all you had to do was focus on the “Missouri” part, and suddenly the denture display with only 31 teeth, an over-representation of the “king” of beers in the food court, and the cow with only one udder seemed…ok. In fact, couldn’t have been any better.

The cow-milking display drew a lot of interest from the girls but (unsurprisingly) not the “hands-on” part of the activity. However, Grace did loudly share with everyone exactly what she thought the udder looked like:

The girls were much more comfortable around the pretend animals (our “no pets” mantra seems to be working) as seen here at the fake sheep display.

And anytime an activity uses glue and glitter, the girls are happy:

And despite not being a Missouri company, Home Depot did sponsor the “best of Missouri” toobox making display. Grace was so proficient with a hammer that she’s already asked about doing some minor repairs around the house (ah the joys of renting…)

No fall/harvest themed event could be complete without using it as an opportunity to make a lame attempt at taking some Christmas card-quality photos - and as expected, we had a total of 0 winners.
