World's Fair, 1984

(I got a scanner for my birthday! Here is my first scanned photo.)

In 1984, the World's Fair was in New Orleans. I went with my family. I don't remember all that much about it, considering I was 9 years old, but I do remember this photo. Behind us is a Space Shuttle. Yeah, that's cool and all, but what I remember is that there's another cousin who was present that day, not pictured here. My cousin Lee.

Lee apparently did not want her picture taken. So much that she screamed and yelled and when my uncle tried to pick her up and carry her into the photo, she bit him.

So here we have me, my sister Leslie, my sister Amanda, my cousin Katie, and in the front, my cousin Anne Yvette. I'm pretty sure Anne Yvette's brother Rick was also there that day, but he was a baby and maybe he was napping or something when we took this picture.

The other thing I remember about this day is that isn't my dress I'm wearing. It's Katie's, and I think Amanda is wearing one of Lee's. I can't remember why we weren't wearing our own clothes that day! The green visor, though? All mine.

I also think this might be the last photo where I am taller than all the other kids. As you can see, Leslie was quickly gaining on me, even though she's two years younger. They're all taller than me now.
