I remember this day like it was yesterday! It was August 1982 so you guys were 3 years old. I was dating Dad and we went to an Art Fair in Lawrence…the artsy spot of Van Buren County! I wore a flowing purple sundress and thought I was so hot (J). They had artists dressed in huge paper mache heads and Galen was so scared of them. Then there was a puppet show and one of the puppets is in the picture. These puppets were not scary but were as big as you guys and Galen was afraid of them too. You took him over after the show to show him that they were not real. You were explaining it to him like he was soooo much younger than you! You just loved taking care of Galen, being his “big sister”, teaching him, leading him around! We were married about 2 months later…so that was 24 years ago…eeeek!
