daVinci Days

We had a fun annual event in Corvallis last weekend called daVinci Days. It is a really cool three day fair type things, but the focus seems to be on renewable and alternative energy. They have a cool parade and mud bog races. I participated in a children's activity where you could make your own crown. Theoretically this is Alexa's crown, but she did not really love the whole thing as much as I did.
Here are Daddy and Alexa waiting for the Kinetic Parade to start.

One of the pedaled vehicles. (I think the human powered vehicles are the ones that do the mud race thing..but if someone knows the details, please explain to me.)



Alexa loved this parade so much, she clapped a "talked" about it for 10 minutes after it was over.
In other fun news, we paid a plumber 115$ to get a plastic bath toy out of the toilet yesterday. And later in the day she got the refrigerator open to get some milk..which she is not allowed to do by herself, and knocked my half gallon pitcher full of hand squeezed lemonade out and spilled it all. I had not yet had a single drink of it. A half gallon of lemonade takes a long time to mop up, and then several moppings to get the residual stickiness off the floor.
Today she is just being wierd. She went to bed at her usual time yesterday evening (9:00) and slept in until I woke her up at 10:00 am this morning for therapy. She usually wakes up between 7:00 and 8:00. Now it is 5:00 and she is starting to show signs of waking up from a 2.5 hour nap. She doesn't have a fever, and she ate both breakfast and lunch and drank some water today, so I don't think there is anything wrong warranting a doctor visit.. but if this keeps up I may call them tomorrow, it is a little odd!
