ad from the detroit zoo from the 80s. love it! don't think i'll be able to work with the flamingos anymore without hearing, "and one, and two, and one, and two" in my head.

guttenplan crab feast/ whiffle ball game

brian's family's annual crab feast/family reunion/whiffle ball game on labor day weekend this year. the whiffle ball game is always divided into guttenplans vs. non-guttenplans. our team had t-shirts this year, and i think it was the team unity that really allowed us our first win. the record stands at 4-1-1. great times!

maryland state fair

baby pigs at the "birthing center" and a baby goat flehman-ing. so cute. 

we went to the largest candy store ever, where they had fireballs (my favorite!). i got a deep fried snickers bar for the first time....and probably the last. you just can't beat a good old fashioned funnel cake. saw a lot of animals (also my favorite!). and rode the big metal centrifuge that spins and sticks you to the side of the cage. i love the fair!
