The dancers on the stage asked Isabelle and Connor to come up and do the twist with them. Connor wasn't quite as into the moves and hip action as Isabelle. For the next hour or so, she practiced in the dirt to truly perfect her twist. It was another highlight of her time at the fair. So, after the twist lesson onstage, Isabelle decided to go try her moves off stage. She and Connor then discovered that they could dance and at the same time, kick up lots of dust! They did this while those sitting down wind began complaining, gritting the dirt in their teeth, and waving their hands. Finally, we mothers-of-the-year moved our dancing children to a place far from the stage. But then, out of nowhere, this Asian woman who was selling sunglasses popped up from behind her table and started yelling at them. I have to admit, I was completely willing to direct the kids to another place to play in the dirt, but when she started throwing water around to get the dirt (and them) wet, it was all I could do to not yell at her right back. But no, I contained myself....and I passive-agressively smiled and said,"Belle you go!"
